Beacca Swan
From Moriston Matters, Issue 17, February 1980.
George and Becca Swan
The whole of the Glenmoriston community and many other friends further afield were saddened to learn of the death on January 27th of Mrs Rebecca Swan. Although she by no means always enjoyed good health she never complained and she was always busy. Two young assistant teachers in Invermoriston School testified to her kindness and the hospitality of her home when they lodged with her in Riverside Park, where indeed many visitors from far and near found a warm welcome. Although she was born in Glenmoriston - the site of the house at Dalchreichart is now marked by a screen of lilac bushes - her father (the Carronach) moved back to Lochcarron where she grew up, and then she returned to the Glen as a side-school teacher for the MacPherson family at Ceannacroc. After some years in the Borders she came back to Glenmoriston nearly thirty years ago when George and she were among the first occupants of Torgoyle Crescent. Wherever she lived her sweet and unassuming nature endeared her to a wide circle of friends, as was evident from the large gathering at the Free Church and Invermoriston Cemetery for her funeral. To George and the other relatives we offer much sympathy.
