Read More	The son of Andrew Carmichael from Ireland and Isabella Johnstone from Scotland, he was named for his maternal grandfather, Christopher Johnstone, as was the brother who predeceased him. Chris was the third of 13 children. As the telephone was just invented in 1876, all business for his father's General Store was over the telegraph. All 12 children became proficient in Morse Code which set the career course of four of the boys who later worked as station masters for the Canadian-Pacific Railway. Before moving to Alberta in the early 1900s, Chris worked for the CPR in Nipissing, Spencerville and Renfrew North as well as in Bruce Mines, Plummer Additional, Thessalon and North West Point in Algoma, Ontario. At 18 Chris had a daughter, Elsie Carmichael, with Elsie Trickey. His next two wives died in childbirth; the two children did not survive. His final marriage to Jennie Colquhoun ended with her death. Chris died in 1943. Jennie is listed as a widow on the 1916 Manitoba census where she is living with her mother. But family records have him still living in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1943 with a brother. Before the move to western Canada, the couple was caring for his mother in the Spencerville family home across from this church and operating his father's general store on the first floor. His final two years he was under the care of his nephew in Edmonton, Cpt James Ernest Carmichael MD, who also signed the death certificate. On it Chris is listed as a widower, a retired farmer. The death certificate has Chris buried with other relatives in Spencerville, but there is no stone.
