    Death of a Prominent Farmer

    Robert Cochrane Summoned After Brief Illness

    The community was sensibly shocked on Wednesday, Feb. 6, when it was learned that Mr. Robert Cochrane had been suddenly called from time to eternity. About a week previously he had attended a sale and became thoroughly chilled. On Saturday, however, he was in Paris, but the next day was stricken with acute inflammatory rheumatism. The disease made rapid progress, and although everything possibly was done to check it the effort proved futile. Mr. Cochrane was one of the most prominent agriculturists in the entire section, owning and cultivating one of the richest and best tilled farms in the province, frequently taking prizes on his products and in the field competition. As a horseman, stockbreeder and exhibitor, he also figured conspicuously, and in recent years was frequently called upon by the Department of Agriculture to act in the capacity of a judge, his decisions giving general satisfaction. From this it will be seen that in the demise of Mr. Cochrane the profession of Agriculture loses one of its leading exponents, the Church a faithful apostle, the community a worthy citizen, and the family a kind, indulgent father and husband. The deceased was still, ordinarily speaking, good for many years of usefulness, being yet under the sixty year mark, but Providence ruled otherwise, and many were the sincere friends who followed his remains to their last resting place with bowed heads and a keen sense of sorrow. He was married in 1881 to Christena Marshall, who survives, together with the following family: Ernest of Bright, Marshall of Galt, Robbie, Margaret and Grace at home. Two brothers and a sister also survive, viz.: James of Edmonton and John and Margaret of Ayr. As a sport Mr. Cochrane was an enthusiastic hunter, also a curler, being tankard skip for years, and winning a number of cups in quoit pitching contests. The funeral on Saturday to Ayr cemetery was largely attended. The service was conducted jointly by Rev. J.J. Brown and Dr. Thomson. Following were the pall-bearers: Messrs. John A. Manson, Albert Gillespie, Thos. Easton, John Easton, Paul Maeder and Wm. Manson.

    Notes:

    Mrs. George D. Black Passes - A life dedicated to her family and God ended on Monday when death claimed Mary Smith Guthrie, widow of George D. Black, at her home on "Wilton Farm," Blenheim townline. The late Mrs. Black had been in indifferent health for some time and eventually succumbed to pneumonia following a fall in her home. Mrs. Black was a lifelong resident of the community and, in her prolonged span of nearly 84 years, she was a sterling example of the fine Scottish characteristics of Christian living and devoted motherhood. A daughter of John Guthrie and Elizabeth Morton, she was born on the farm now owned by her son-in-law, Ernest Cochrane, on the 9th concession. Her father was a Scottish pioneer in the district and her mother, though born near Ayr, originated from the same hardy race. These forebears could be best described as patriarchal families, for their descendants branched out through this community until they now number in the scores. In 1887 she was married to George D. Black, who predeceased her, a year and a half ago. The wedding took place at the farm home now owned by William Kinnaird, Jr., directly across the road from the farm where the couple spent the remainder of their days. This union was blessed with one son, George Inglis, who passed away a few years ago, and three daughters, Mrs. Ernest Cochrane (Margaret), Misses Elizabeth and Mary, residing at home. Working together and living the joys and disappointments of life together, Mr. and Mrs. Black found the years slipped by only too rapidly. But it was a divine blessing that two people so extremely happy should not soon be parted, and they enjoyed the singular distinction of celebrating their 62nd wedding anniversary before Mr. Black's death. Originally Mrs. Black was a devout Presbyterian, one of the foremost members of Stanley Street Church in Ayr, but transferred her membership to Knox United when church union was consummated. Her intense interest in the missionary work of the church found an outlet in the Woman's Missionary Society, where her sustained efforts were rewarded with a life membership in the Kate M. Thomson Auxiliary. In social life, she turned to the Ayr Women's Institute which benefited for many years by her unceasing efforts toward its advancement. For the most part, however, Mrs. Black found her life fulfilled in the home, and it was here that she could be found by her neighbors, happily regulating the tenor of her domain. By way of diversion, Mrs. Black became a profound reader and could ably discuss the works of many of the masters. In her death, the community mourns the loss of a woman whose every action bespoke the sterling qualities of the Scottish people who pioneered this district\emdash kindness, integrity, ambition, Christianity and determination. All of these virtues were component parts of Mrs. Black's character, and the impression left by her way of living is indelibly stamped in the minds of her scores of friends and neighbors as an example well followed. Besides three daughters, she is survived by a sister, Mrs. David B, Scott, Galt, and a brother, Morton Guthrie, Ayr. Four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren also survive. The funeral was held from her late residence this (Wednesday) afternoon, with service conducted by Rev. W. D. Goodger. Interment was made in Ayr Cemetery.

    The Passing of Mrs. Geo. Black, Sr.

    Another of the early pioneers has passed away n the person of Mrs. George Black, sr., who departed this life, after an illness of several months, from heart trouble and dropsy, on Monday morning, the 9th of November, 1908, in the 81st year of her age. When quite young she came from Scotland to this country with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Edgar, and other members of the family, in or about the year 1886. They resided for a short time in the Dickie settlement, and removed, in the course of a year or so to the family homestead, known as the "Hill" farm, some two miles west of Ayr. Here many of the trials incident to pioneer times were met and overcome, and many of the happy scenes of home life, too sacred for pen and ink, were passed, while they tarried together within the golden gates of time. The deceased was the fourth of a family of ten brothers and sisters, of whom four survive, viz.: Alexander and James of the township of Howick, Mrs. Thomas Black of Elora, and Mrs. William Elliott of Ayr. In 1854, the subject of our sketch, whose family name was Mary Edgar, was united in marriage to George Black of the township of Blenheim, who predeceased her some nine years. the union proved a happy one, resultant in long life and harmony, the building up of a beautiful home, the enjoyment of the esteem and confidence of friends and neighbors far and near, and the benign blessing of a loving Heavenly Father. Two sons were born of this union, James and George, and who survive their mother and with their children and grandchildren are left to mourn the loss of one dear to all, and whose heart was bound up in love for home and children. Busy in life and buoyant in spirit, she held a prominent place in the hearts of all those who knew her, and will be sadly missed by a large circle of friends. She was famed for her superior domestic qualities and in unwearied deeds of kindness her handiwork excelled. Deceased was a member of Stanley St. Church and will be missed from her place of worship there, and from homes where she was often wont to visit in welcome, winning friendship. To the sorrowing sons and relatives and friends we extend our sincere sympathy n this their season of great grief. The funeral, which took place on Wednesday afternoon at 2 p.m., from her late residence to the Ayr cemetery, was very largely attended, the services being conducted by her pastor, the Rev. D. I. Ellison.

    In the passing of Mr. John Guthrie, who died at his late residence on Saturday, August 23, from the effects of a fall from a load of grain a week prior to his decease, the home loses a good, kind loving husband and father, and the church and community one of the best of men, and one of the most familiar and friendly personalities. Well and widely known, and highly esteemed for his sterling qualities of character, he held an honored place among his fellowmen, and belonged to that class of people that exalteth a nation and who have helped very largely to give Canada its prestige among the leading nations of the world. He was one of the most prosperous farmers in the district. Always busy, work became the habit of his life, and the summons to rest found him on duty.

In 1864 Mr. Guthrie married Miss Elizabeth Morton and established their first home on the farm, holding sacred its early baptismal scriptural name "Goshen," now occupied by Mr. James E. Black. In 1870 Mr. Guthrie purchased what is known as the "Rosedale Farm," where he resided until his decease. Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie were given four children three daughters and one son, viz.: Mrs. James A. Edgar, (deceased); Mrs. G. D. Black, "Wilton Farm," Ayr; Mrs. D. Scott, Galt, and Morton at home. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mrs. Guthrie and family in this their time of sad bereavement and sorrow.
