    Notes:

    Passing of Mrs. Janet Thomson - Galt's oldest citizen, in the person of Mrs. Janet Thomson, mother of Mr. Alexander Thomson of this village, passed away at her home in Galt on Monday, in her 99th year, following the dislocation of her hip a week previously.

    The deceased was born near Hawick, Roxboroughshire, Scotland, on Feb. 19, 1824, and came to Canada in '41, settling in Galt. Later they took up land north-east of Roseville, and while there attended Stanley Street Church, Ayr. On leaving the farm about 30 years ago, they again settled in Galt, where Mr. Thomson died some three years later.

    Mrs. Thomson, despite her great age, retained all her faculties to the last and would doubtless have lived many years longer but for the accident which befell her. Hers was a genial, kindly disposed nature, and a sunny disposition. She loved the society of young people, and was very fond of animals and flowers. Everywhere she made staunch friends and very many will deeply regret her demise.

    She leaves eight sons and daughters, 14 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Interment took place at Mount view Cemetery, Galt, on Tuesday afternoon.

    __________________________

    Obituary - After some time of illness, Mr. Alex Thomson, of Roseville, has passed to his rest. Deceased was a native of Moffat, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, emigrating to this country in 1833. After his arrival here, he spent a few years in Montreal, then in 1836 moved out on the farm he so long occupied in North Dumfries, near the village of Roseville. Patient industry hewed out there a very fine homestead, and with his family he reaped the benefit of his labors for many years, ultimately retiring about six years ago from active life, removing into Roseville, where he spent the last years of his life. He was very much respected in this section. His long residence here made him widely known, and we are glad to say that he deservedly obtained and retained the respect and friendship of those with whom he associated. His aged partner in life died about two years ago, and of his family there are living five sons and two daughters, viz.: Mr. Robt. Thomson, near Roseville; Mr. James Thomson, near Strasburg, Waterloo; Mr. Joseph Thomson, of New Dundee; Mr. Thomas W. Thomson, of Fergus; Mr. John Thomson, of Seaforth; Mrs. John Henderson, Elora; and Mrs. Robt. Walker, of Roseville. The deceased was interred in the Ayr Cemetery on Tuesday forenoon last, the funeral being attended by a very large number of his old friends.
