    Died in Ayr, on Monday, Oct. 3, 1921, at 4: 30 o'clock am, Jane Armstrong, relict of the late Andrew Gourlay, in her 85th year. The deceased, who had been in failing health for some years dropped off quite suddenly. She was well and favorably known in the community, and deep regret will be felt among a large circle of sincere friends and relatives.

    Born in Wigtonshire, Scotland, where she was also married, herself and husband came to Canada some 65 years ago, settling at Richwood and about 20 years later, after Mr. Gourlay's death, moved to Ayr, where she continued to reside until her demise. She was a Presbyterian and a faithful member of Knox United Church; also a worker in the Ladies' Aid Society. Outside of these activities, she devoted nearly all her time to the interests of her home and family, of whom there were 14 children, and 13 survive her - one, Alice, having lost her life in a railway wreck near Paris some years ago. The surviving members comprise five daughters and eight sons. They are - Mrs. Wm. Waugh, Innerkip; Mrs. Wm. Manson, Ayr; Mrs. Murdo Lillico, Blenheim; Mrs. E.S. Boddy, Portage Laprarie; Jessie, John and Robert at home; Thomas, William and James, in Manitoba; George in Paris; Peter near Ayr, and Alexander in Toronto.

    Five sisters and two brothers are also living. Mrs. Peter Rodger resides in Greenfield; Mrs. John Ross and Mrs. Wm. Muir in Paris, and Thomas Armstrong in Woodstock. Another sister and another brother are in Australia. The funeral, which was private, took place from her late residence, Swan St., yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, Rev. Mr. Brown and Dr. Tomson officiating. Interment was made in the Ayr Cemetery. The pall-bearers were Messrs. J. L. Black, G.D. Black, D. Lillico, J. Ennis, N. Walton, and Jas. Dennis.
