Passing of a Great Grandmother

On Thursday last there passed to her reward one of the pioneer settlers of this district in the person of Mrs. Alex. Scott of Blenheim, who had attained the ripe age of 90 years. The deceased, whose maiden name was Elspeth Oliver, was born in Scotland and came to Canada at the age of 11, settling with her parents on the Old Oliver farm just east of the village. Ayr was then a mere hamlet and the whole countryside was a little better than a howling wilderness. The changes she witnessed during 80 years residence in a young and constantly developing country can possibly be better imagined than described. Suffice it that she was not only an eyewitness but a participant in the development of the country and had the honor of living to be a great-grandmother. In early womanhood she was united in marriage with the late Alex Scott, who predeceased her 11 years, at the age of 90. To them four sons and three daughters were born, all of whom survive, viz., Mrs. Geo. Henderson, San Francisco, Cali.; George and James, South Dumfries; William and Mrs. Stephen Marshall, Blenheim; Mrs. E. Elkington, Paris, and Thomas O., Ayr. Two sisters also survive, Mrs. Peter Hope, Ayr, and Mrs. Geo. Hope, Brantford. Two brothers and a sister predeceased her - Thomas of Manitoba, William of Ayr and Mrs. Geo. Ausbrook of Paris Plains. The funeral took place on Sunday, interment being made in the Ayr cemetery. Deceased was a member of Stanley-st. church, Ayr, and the services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Anderson, assisted by Rev. .Mr. Grant and Dr. Thomson. The pallbearers were grandchildren - viz., E. R. Scott, Galt; Wm. Marshall, Blenheim; Bert Scott and Scotty Elkington, Paris; Leslie Kelly, Paris Plains, and John McGill, Burford.
