Notes:

Robert Neilson - A wide circle of friends will hear with much regret of the death on June 8th of Robert Neilson of Lily, Brook Farm, Orange, Conn. Though it is many years since he left Ayr, he retained great interest in the village and kept, closely in touch with it by frequent visits. The late Mr. Neilson was born in Doune, Scotland, and came to Ayr as a young man, and for many years was in charge of the office of the Goldie Mills. Later, he went to Montreal, where he was assistant treasurer of the Lake of the Woods Milling Co. Retiring about eleven years ago, he bought a place in Orange, Conn., spending his summers there with his garden as great interest, his winters in California. He had travelled extensively, read widely and had great interest in world affairs. The older people of the village will remember him as a member for many of both School and Public Library Boards; also as an ardent curler. He is survived by two sisters, Miss Elizabeth Neilson and Miss Jean Neilson of Orange. Conn., and one brother, Dr. William Allan Neilson, President of Smith College, Northampton, Mass. Service was held last week in Orange. Final Interment will be in Ayr.
