Passing of Mrs. Cameron Marshall

Following a stroke which she sustained on May 17^th, the death occurred in Galt Hospital on Thursday, May 25^th of Mary Isabella Deans, widow of Cameron Marshall, aged 85 years.

It will be remembered that Mrs. Marshall was guest of honour at a family gathering held at the home of her son, Gordon Marshall, and Mrs. Marshall on Mother's Day, May 14^th, which was also the occasion of her 85^th birthday.

Mrs. Marshall was born on the Deans homestead, Highway No. 97, now owned by Fred Stager. After her marriage to Cameron Marshall June 5, 1889, they resided on the farm on the Reidsville road now owned by Gordon Marshall. Mrs. Marshall came to Ayr to reside 11 years ago.

She was a member of the former Stanley Street Presbyterian Church and, after the union, of Knox United Church. In her younger days, she was active in the work of the different women's organizations of the congregation.

Of a kindly, cheerful disposition, Mrs. Marshall was esteemed by a host of friends by whom she will be greatly missed.

Surviving are two sons: Anderson and Gordon of North Dumfries township; one daughter, Mrs. Leslie McDonald, near Drumbo; 11 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Also surviving are two sisters: Mrs. James Henderson and Miss Edith Deans, Ayr, and two brothers: James Deans, Ayr and Kirk Deans, Waterloo. Her husband predeceased her in 1917, while a daughter, Mrs. Rufus Davidson, passed away about three years ago.

The Funeral

The funeral, which took place from the residence of her son, Gordon Marshall, Concession 9, North Dumfries, on Saturday afternoon to the Ayr Cemetery, was largely attended. The service was conducted by Rev. Donald Goodger, and the beautiful selection, "Take Time to be Holy", was sung by Mrs. J. P. Ritchie and Mrs. J. M. Hunt, with Mrs. Norman R. Morton as accompanist.

Many lovely floral tributes bore silent testimony to the esteem in which Mrs. Marshall was held.

The flower-bearers were four grandsons: Howard Marshall, Ross Marshall, Cameron Marshall and Cameron Davidson.

Acting as pallbearers were: Wm. G. Edgar, George Snyder, Andrew C. Hall, James Rutherford, Thomas Ritchie and William Williamson.

_____________________

Demise of Oldest Resident - To have lived to the age of nearly 94 years, about 80 of which were spent in Dumfries, is a record that falls to a lot of very few, Mr. Richard Deans of North Dumfries, who passed away on Friday, attained that distinction. He was born in Scotland and came to Canada when in his boyhood, settling with his parents in the section now known as Keg Lane, near Paris. He had, however, resided on the farm on which he died, lot 28, concession 10, North Dumfries, for a period of about 65 years. In 1862 he married, his bride being Miss Euphemia tenant, who predeceased him some years. The family surviving comprises Mrs. Andrew Hall, Blenheim; Matthew K., Waterloo tp.; Mrs. Cameron Marshall, N. D.; Mrs. Thos. Hall, N. D.; Mrs. Jas. Henderson, Waterloo Tp., and James and Edith at home. In religion the deceased was a Presbyterian and attended Stanley street Church, Ayr, before the union. Politically he was a staunch Liberal, and also took a deep interest in municipal affairs, being a member of the township council for a number of years. He was highly respected in the community and a good neighbor. The funeral took place on Monday, when interment was made in the Ayr cemetery, Rev. J. J. Brown conducting the service. The pallbearers were Messrs. Thos. and And. Hall, Jas. Henderson, Stephen Marshall, and Matthew K. and James Deans.
