She was born in Esquesing Township, Halton County and came with husband to Puslinch thirty-eight years ago. She was highly respected by all who knew her.

She was a devoted member of St. Andrew's Church. Mr. Aiken passed away only last March and a daughter, Mrs. Richardson lost a little boy, so that the family have been greatly bereaved during the past year. A family of five survive: Mrs. A. S. Murray of Weston; Mrs. Charles Richardson of Gourock; Mrs. Charles Austin of Eramosa; Mrs. John Erhardt of Puslinch; and Thomas, at home. The funeral was held on Friday at 2 from her residence.
