Notes:

Death of Thomas Holmes - One of Ayr's Oldest Residents Passes Away - There passed to his reward on Wednesday, Jan. 21st at 4.30 p.m., Thomas Holmes, one of Ayr's oldest residents in his 93rd year. Deceased had enjoyed good health during the whole of his long span of life and was ill only a few days before the end came. He was born in Wiltshire, England, and came to Canada, with his wife, in 1858. It will thus be seen he was a resident of Ayr for 67 years, during which time he witnessed the many changes that transformed the crude village of the earlier days into the substantial community in which we now reside. He was a blacksmith by trade and for some thirty years or more was a valued employee of the John Watson Co. In politics he was a liberal and in religion a Methodist. Of a quiet, unassuming nature, he made many staunch friends and was greatly respected by the whole community. He is survived by the following three daughters and one son, his wife having predeceased him about 10 years ago; Mrs. (Rev.) Henry Irvine, Guelph; Mrs. D. A. Clark, Toronto; Miss Louise, at home; and A.W. Holmes, Toronto. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon to Ayr Cemetery, the services being in charge of Rev. R. E. Railton. The pallbearers were Messrs. Robert Cuthbertson, David Cuthbertson, John Goldie, James Fair, Adam Wilson and H. R. Graham.
