Passing of Alexander Gray

In the death of Mr. Alexander Gray, which occurred on Feb. 24, Greenfield loses one of its oldest and most highly esteemed residents - a man of whom it can be truly said the community was the better for his having lived in it. Mr. Gray had attained his 68th year, 41 of which were spent in Greenfield, where, up to 15 years ago, he followed the occupation of a cooper and had since been engaged in farming. He was born in Ireland and came to Canada with his parents at the age of about six months, settling at Waterdown and late at Greenfield. Some 40 years ago he married Sarah An McCall, who survives. In politics Mr. Gray was a staunch Liberal of the old school, and in religion a Methodist of a practical character. He attended the services in Ayr regularly and for some years was the efficient super-intendent of the Sabbath School, discharging his duties with credit to himself and benefit to the classes assembled. The family comprises two sons and two daughters, viz., Norman M., Edward, Mrs. Walter Scott and Miss Maud Gray, all of whom reside at Greenfield. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon, when interment was made in the Ayr cemetery, Rev. E. S. Hiscocks conducting the services. Pallbearers were Messrs. Wm. Patterson, Geo. Smye, Henry Elliott, John Myers, J. W. Hut and John J. Hodgson.

Death of Mrs. Alexander Gray - the death occurred in Galt Hospital on Friday, August 10th, after a short illness, of Sarah McCall, of Ayr, widow of the late Alexander Gray, in her 70th year. Mrs. Gray was born near Hamilton, and came to Greenfield with her husband about 49 years ago where Mr. Gray was employed as a cooper for a long number of years. On the death of her husband Mrs. Gray removed to Ayr some 8 years ago where she had since resided. She was a valued member of the former Ayr Methodist Church where she attended service regularly and took a deep interest in all matters pertaining to that organization.

She is survived by two sons and two daughters, as follows: Norman, Blenheim; Edward, Fling, Mich.; Mrs. Walter Scott, North Dumfries; and Maude, at home.

Death of A. E. Scott

Another old resident has passed away in the person of Mr. Alexander E. Scott, who succumbed on Wednesday, Sept. 25, after a lingering illness from heart failure, aged 59 years. Mr. Scott was well and favorably known throughout a wide section of country, having been a resident of North Dumfries all his life. Of an unassuming disposition, he took little native interest in public affairs, devoting himself to the interests of his family and his farm. In him the social instinct was strong, and his home was the rendezvous of many congenial spirits. In politics he was a Reformer and in religion he was Presbyterian being a member of Knox United Church. He married Catherine Henderson, who proved a faithful wife, a loving mother and a true helpmate until her death about two years ago. A large family survives. They are: Mrs. J. H. Buckholder, Ayr; Mrs. Rowat, Calgary; Walter, James and Mrs. Norman Gray, Greenfield; Albert and Evelyn at home. The funeral on Saturday was largely attended, interment being made in the Ayr cemetery. The services were conducted by deceased's pastor, Rev. J. J. Brown.
