Notes:

Another Old Settler Gone

Mr. William Linton, of New Aberdeen, in the Township of Waterloo, a very old resident of that section, died at his residence on Monday morning last. The deceased was a native of Selkirkshire, Scotland, and emigrated to Canada with his parents and family in 1810, settling for a time near Ottawa, thence moving to the Township of Waterloo, where the deceased settled on a farm near New Aberdeen, on which he resided up to the time of his death. Shortly after he married Miss Cruthers, who proved herself a most worthy wife and helpmate in all the struggles of their early farming life. They had a large family, all of whom are now married but the youngest. Adam and James live in Galt; Mrs. Teat and Mrs. James Robson, also live in Galt; John on a farm near Preston; Mrs. R. Nicol in Windsor, and David, the youngest, on the old homestead. The deceased who was a broth of Mr. John Linton, of Galt, was a most hard working, industrious man, of a quiet, peaceable disposition, and highly respected as a neighbor. He was in his ordinary health upon a few days before his death, when he was seized with inflammation of the bowels, his disease running its course until death terminated his sufferings.

Rather a singular fact connected with Mr. Linton's life was, that he was a twin brother, the other brother living now in the Township of Turnberry. The two were very much attached from childhood, being much alike in disposition. As young men they were very much together, and were so similar in appearance that even when met by their relatives, if alone, it was always a puzzle as to which brother it was, and frequently it was necessary to ask. Mr. Linton was in his 69th year at the time of his death. His funeral on Wednesday afternoon to Strasburg Cemetery, was largely attended by relatives and his many friends.

Death of Mrs. George Barrie

Last week the Reporter contained a sort notice of the death of Mrs. James Cowan, and therein was mentioned that of the old folks who remained to us the most prominent were Mrs. George Barrie and Mrs. David Potter. Today we are called upon to record the death of one of these two in the person of Mrs. George Barrie, who passed quietly away on Tuesday, at 1 o'clock, pm. Mrs. Barrie was born in Lilliesleaf, Roxboroughshire, Scotland, and was married there, emigrating to Canada, with her husband, in 1829, in company with the last James Cowan and his wife, the lady whose death was announced last week and Walter Cowan and wife, both long since dead. They all took up land at once, Mr. Barrie the homestead now occupied by the youngest of his children, Mr. Alexander Barrie; James Cowan the homestead now occupied by Mr. Thos. Cowan; and Walter Cowan the homestead now occupied by Mr. Wm. Cowan. For a time, while a house was being built on his land, Mr. Barrie occupied a house on the top of "Dickson's" hill, but as soon as ever his own house was read the family moved into it and there laid the foundation by industry of the fine properties now owned by the sons, Mr. Robert Barrie, now retired and living in Galt; Mr. Walter Barrie, residing near Ayr; Mr. John Barrie, residing on the farm just north of the homestead; and Mr. George Barrie, residing on the farm almost adjoining to the west, and the homestead now occupied by Mr. Alexander Barrie. The father, Mr. George Barrie, died in 1863. Himself and wife the descendants of the sturdy Scottish race who made Scotland revered, they have left behind them a family which is a household word in this section, for besides the sons enumerated there are yet living three daughters, viz, Mrs. Hugh Morton, now residing with her husband in Galt; Mrs. John Cavers, of North Dumfries; and Mrs. Thos. Dalgleish, of Galt. For convenience in attending church

Mrs. Barrie was a prominent member of Knox Church

she came about a year ago to reside with Mrs. Dalgleish, in Galt. A little more than ten days ago the deceased lady was attacked with inflammation of the bowels; and although at times it appeared as if she might throw off the attack her strength became so much reduced that, after severe suffering, she gently closed her eyes to this world at the hour mentioned on Tuesday. Mrs. Barrie was in the 92nd year of her age, was a woman of strong Christian affections, and in the early days of Dumfries took a leading part in all that fell to the lot of a pioneer's wife.
