Notes:

107 YEARS OLD

The Seaforth Expositor thus refers to the death of the late Mrs. Laird grandmother of Messrs Samuel Seamon and Hilton Laird, of Goderich, which occurred on the 23rd of August:

"The oldest resident of the county of Huron, and perhaps the oldest in the Province, passed peacefully from earth on Friday last. We refer to the death of Mrs. John Gallagher Laird, relict of the late Samuel Laird, watch took place at the residence of her son, Mr. John Laird, Seaforth. Mrs Laird had reached the the extraordinary age of 107 years, 9 months and 23 days. Mrs. Laird was a native of Donegal, Ireland. Immediately after her marriage to Mr. Laird, 75 years ago, they started for Canada. They first settled in Ingersoll, but soon after removed to the Township of Wilmot, Waterloo County, where they spent the greater part of life. Mr. Laird died about 17 years ago, in the Township of Morris, and was over 80 years of age. Mrs Laird had a family of three sons and two daughters, but only one son and one daughter survive her. These are Mr. John Laird, of Seaforth, and Mrs. Robert Hayes, of Lucknow. She had been blind for a great many years, but aside from this affliction she enjoyed good health until within a few months of her death, and was remarkably active. She was a most entertaining conversationalist, and took mach pleasure in recounting the incidents of her early and middle life. She was a witness to many and great changes. For the last week of her life she was unconscious, and finally passed away as if in sleep, a complete wearing out of a once remarkably robust physical constitution. The remains were taken to Brussels on Tuesday, and interred in the cemetery there beside those of her deceased husband"
