GLENALLAN WOMAN DIED ON TUESDAY

WELL KNOWN RESIDENT OF THIS DISTRICT GONE IN PERSON OF MRS. WM. GOWING

One closely associated with the countryside about Elmira passed away in Glenallan on Tuesday morning in the person of Mrs. William Gowing. The late Mrs. Gowing suffered a stroke last July and never recovered from the effects, death taking place early on Tuesday morning.

The late Mrs. Gowing was seventy-seven years of age, and was predeceased by her husband about fifteen years. Before her marriage she was well known in this district as Elizabeth Goodwin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Goodwin. Born near Peterborough in Otonabee township. she moved as a young child to the farm three miles west of Elmira taken up by her father. Here she lived until her marriage, when she moved with her husband to Maryborough township. She resided there for about thirty-five years, removing then to Glenallan where she has resided for the last nineteen years.

She leaves six sons as follows: Aar-on, of Mingo township, Wellington, William, Calvin and Edgar of Peel township, and Charles of Maryborough township. One daughter, Mrs. Alex Gabel, resides in Elmira. The funeral takes place to-morrow from the residence to Glenallan Methodist Church, and thence to Glenallan cemetery for interment.

• Name: Mary Elizabeth Gooding
• Eby ID Number: Waterloo-117682
• Residence: 1851, Otonabee, Peterborough Co., Ontario

Notes:

Three sources tell us that "Mary" was the name of Robert Gooding's wife: daughter Elizabeth's marriage in 1863, daughter Christina's marriage in 1867 and daughter Almira's marriage in 1870. The death of daughter Elizabeth in 1922 names her mother as "Elizabeth A." and the death of son James in 1907 is the sole source for his mother's surname which was "Fleet". We'll say then that her maiden name was perhaps Mary Elizabeth Fleet.

Mary appears in the 1851 census with the rest of her family, age 31 and living in Otonabee, Peterborough County. Ten years later in the 1861 census, the family has moved to Woolwich Township, Waterloo County and father Robert is a widower. Mary passed away between the two census, possibly while they were still living in Peterborough County but maybe after the move to Waterloo County.

The memorial for the wife of Robert S. Gooding is simply a placeholder until more information can be found.
