  • Notes 
    • 07 Apr 2001 - Ray MacLean on page 114 (Vol 2) related how Bishop Fraser taught his brother Angus to serve Mass. Although a grown man, Angus used to assist as Altar Boy whenever his brother visited St. Joseph's. The Latin gave Angus some difficulty at the beginning and although he was well coached, he was inclined to trip up at the Kyrie Elieson. The Bishop told Angus that whenever he said Kyrie Elieson, Angus was to say another of them. When the Bishop said his first Mass with Angus as Altar Boy and came to the Kyrie Elieson, Angus responded; "Fear eille dhiu" (another one of them in Gaelic).

      15 May 2001 - According to the History of the Frasers of Lovat on pages 642-643, Angus was married with five children.

      20 May 2001 - Reference page 76, Vol 2, in the History of Antigonish by Ray MacLean, in which was described the conch shell taken by Angus from Scotland which he used to call people to worship as the Church lacked a bell.

      21 May 2001 - Reference page 115, Vol 2, in the History of Antigonish by Ray MacLean re the names of their children.
