Notes:

Death of James Codling - Was Oldest Employee of John Watson Mfg. Co.

The community was shocked on Monday morning to learn of the death of James Thomas Codling who suddenly expired about 8 o'clock while at his work in the blacksmithing department of the John Watson Mfg. Co. He was apparently taken with a heart attack and died in the course of a few minutes. Mr. Codling, who was 74 years of age, was the oldest employee of the Watson Company, having been with that firm since 1876 where he occupied the position of foreman of the blacksmith shop. He was a reliable and conscientious workman, and held a high place in the esteem of his fellow employees. In religion he was Presbyterian, and, for many years, was a valued member of the choir of Stanley Street Church. He later attended Knox United Church. He was born near Drumbo and, when a young man, removed to Ayr where he had resided ever since. He was married twice. His first wife, whose maiden name was Agnes C. Reid, predeceased him in 1909. He later married Orrie Menzies, who, along with the following two children by his first wife survive: Mrs. Alfred Coles (Beatrice), Pt. Colborne, and Mr. Edward C. Codling, Superintendent of Beatty Brothers, Fergus. One sister, Mrs. Alexander Ross, also survives.

Notes:

Passing of John S. Reid - There passed away at an early hour on Tuesday morning John S. Reid, one of the pioneers of Dumfries. Mr. Reid was born on the Duke of Boueleugh's estate in the year 1829 and when a small boy, came to Canada with his parents and a colony of Scotch emigrants from Dumfriesshire, Scotland. They were six weeks on the ocean and arrived in Montreal about the latter end of July; continuing on their journey, they reached Galt on the 12th day of August, 1831, where land had been allotted to them in the township which got its name from the shire they came from. Mr. Reid experienced all the hardship of pioneer life and not only helped to clear the land his father had taken up, but a number of the farms lying adjacent. The debating society held their meetings at his father's house during the winter months and he distinctly remembered the members bringing armfuls of pine knots to furnish the light during the discussion, and he often attended divine service in William Currie's log barn before the "old log meeting house" was built on the grave yard which still remains to be seen on the Galt road. In 1854 Mr. Reid married Isabella Matheson, who predeceased him 26 years, leaving a family of four sons - John and Walter of Ayr, Andrew of Guelph, James of Rock Island, Ill., and six daughters - Catherine at home, Mrs. Codling (deceased), Mrs. Gladstone of Nithvale, Mrs. Ward of Woodstock; Mrs. Carter of Ayr and Violet of Guelph, who now mourn the loss of an affectionate father. Of a quiet and unassuming disposition he had a large circle of friends, who heard of his death with sincere regret. In his latter years he often remarked that he had lived long enough to note that each successive generation of the small colony of Scotch emigrants that came to Dumfries with him had, despite increasing prosperity and abounding freedom deemed it a point of national honor to maintain inviolate the cherished traditions of their fathers by accepting a quotation from the Bible as a final argument on every question. He was 83 years and five months of age.
