Demise of Peter Marshall - In the death of Mr. Peter Marshall, which unlooked for event occurred early Monday morning at his home, Northumberland St., Ayr, the community loses another life-long, well-known and highly esteemed citizen. The deceased, who was in his 51st year, had been ill for some time, and had retired from his occupation as a farmer, but he had been improving in health up to a few days before his death, so that his sudden passing came as a shock to the community. He was born in the adjoining township of Blenheim, and lived there all his life until coming to Ayr last spring. Like many of the successful tillers of the soil in this section, Mr. Marshall adhered closely to his calling, seldom taking much interest in political or municipal affairs. He, however, identified himself with the Reform party, and in religion was a Presbyterian - a member of Stanley-St. Church and an ex-office bearer. His partner in life, whose maiden name was Maggie Oliver, survives, together with five children - three sons and two daughters, namely, Anthony, Leslie, Chester, Margaret and Belle, all of whom are at home. Three brothers and three sisters also survive. They are - Stephen, Blenheim; Anthony, Calgary; Ralph, Winnipeg; Maggie, Ayr; Mrs. E. Deans, Paris, and Mrs. Geo. Dickie, London. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, when the remains were followed to their last resting place in the Ayr cemetery by a large number of friends and relatives. The services were conducted by Deceased's pastor, Rev. D. I. Ellison. The pall-bearers were Messrs. Thos. Hall, Cameron Marshall, W. A. Ramsay, T. O. Scott, Wm. Manson and George Gourlay (Paris). Mr. Marshall was an Oddfellow and the members of the Order here attended the obsequies in a body. The cortege was the largest ween in Ayr in some time.

Passing of Mrs. Marshall

Another Long-Time Resident Crosses the Great Divide

Time and death are constantly making inroads on the ranks of the early settlers. This week we are called upon to chronicle the demise of a lady who, although not old in years, was born in the district and had resided here or in the immediate vicinity for over half a century. Mrs. Peter A. Marshall (nee Maggie Oliver), passed away on Thursday evening after a somewhat extended and very painful illness \endash deeply regretted by a wide circle of relatives and friends. She was born in Blandford nearly 56 years ago, and was married to Mr. Marshall in 1886, afterwards residing on a farm near here until they moved into the village of Ayr about eight years since, her husband dying some six years ago. The subject of this brief obituary was a staunch Presbyterian, being a member of Knox United Church and very active in Ladies' Aid work. She was highly esteemed by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Five children survive to mourn the loss of a loving mother, Mrs. Jas. C. Swain resides in Ayer, Anthony at St. Mary's, Bella at Galt, Leslie in Toronto, and Chester in Ayr. A sister, Catherine, also lives here, and two brothers also survive: John in Vancouver, B. C., and Wm. in Carberry, Man. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, when the remains were laid to rest in the beautiful Ayr cemetery. The deceased's pastor, Rev. J. J. Brown, conducted the service. The pallbearers were Messrs. Thos. Hall, Jas. Hall, John Anderson, Matthew Deans, Geo. Landreth and R. Carrick.
