    _______________________

    Thomas Marshall - The death occurred, suddenly this (Wednesday ) morning at his home Roseville of Thomas Marshall, aged 76 years. Mr. Marshall was born near Blair and spent most of his life in the Blair and Roseville district, where he farmed for many years. He lived in Ayr for a period of about ten years, and it was here that his son, Raymond, was born. In his later years he retired and had been living in Roseville. He was predeceased by his wife, the former Margaret Swan, in 1934. Mr. Marshall had been in fair health, and his death was a distinct shock to the community where he was known and respected by a host of friends and neighbors. A violin player of note, Mr. Marshall was in former years in great demand at dances and other social affairs. He was also an authority on old time and square dances and was a judge of these contests at the South Waterloo Agricultural Society Fair in Galt for years. He leaves to mourn his passing, two daughters, Mrs. Lorne DeBrusk (Margaret) of Blair, and Mrs. Isobel Osborne of Toronto; one son, Raymond of Hamilton; and six grandchildren.

    Passing of John Currie
    Lived Upwards of 90 Years in This Community

    This week we have to chronicle the passing of the oldest resident of the community in the person of John Currie, who died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Robert Smuck, Paris Road, on Monday, June 20th, at the ripe age of over 95 years. The deceased was born in Roxboroughshire, Scotland, and came to Canada at the age of four years, settling on the farm now occupied by Mr. Stephen Gemmell, afterwards locating at different periods on several other farms in the locality.

    Over 40 years ago Mr. Currie discontinued farming and moved into Ayr, where he started a coal yard, being the first coal merchant in the village. During the time he was farming, he also did a lot of teaming between here and Hamilton, and other points from lake to lake.

    To have lived upwards of 90 years in one community falls to the lot of few men. The changes he witnessed in that long period can probably be better imagined than described. Suffice it that in his early days the country was in a crude state. There were no railroads and in fact very few and very indifferent roads of any kind. The forests were the rendezvous of Indians, wolves, bears and highway men, and the whole country was passing through the throes of a rebellion. He successfully weathered all these adverse conditions and prospered as the country developed.

    Mr. Currie was a Reformer in politics and a Presbyterian in religion, being a member of Knox United Church. His partner in life was Agnes Pringle, who predeceased him some years. A family of five were born to them - two of whom, Isabell and William, have passed on before.

    Those living are Mrs. Geo. Swan, sr., Ayr; Mrs. Margaret Bell, Galt; and Mrs. Robert Smuck, South Dumfries. A brother and sister, Peter Currie and Mrs. Christie (Toronto), also survive. Interment was made in the Ayr cemetery yesterday, the funeral being very largely attended. Rev. J. J. Brown conducted the services, and the pallbearers were principally grandchildren, viz., Currie Smuck, John, Ewart and James Bell, Robert Smuck and George H. Lawrence.
