MEMORIES OF H.M. McLeod.
"Uncle Hugh" as he was known to my father and me, was something of a phenomenon in the conservative Taylor family because of his many marriages. The poor man simply had rotten luck with all of his wives, except the last, dying on him! He certainly had no problem attracting yet another woman to replace the last one! Unfortunately, I did not form any impression of his character. He was rather tall, compared to his brothers, and had the McLeod baldness.
