• Notes

  Death of Mrs. Dr. Kerr We regret to announce the death of this lady on Saturday last, in her 63rd year. The deceased lady was a general; favorite in this section, where with her husband and family she has long resided. She was ever foremost in good works and kindliness and will be missed by many who in the past have been the recipients of quiet, unostentatious kindness at her hands. Mrs. Kerr was a native of Paisley, Scotland, and came with her husband to this country in 1845. For a short time the family remained in Hamilton, where, at that time, or shortly after, her two brothers engaged in the wholesale trade. Both predeceased Mrs. Kerr, after occupying a prominent position for years in the city. After a few years Dr. Kerr and family came to Galt, where they may be said to have since continuously resided. Dr. Kerr is now in his 83rd year. It is needless to say that the blow to him is a severe one, or that the warmest sympathy is felt in the town for himself and family in their affliction. The family consists of two sons and two daughters, all of whom resided with their parents with the exception of Mr. Wm. Kerr, who is at present engaged in business in New York. Mrs. Kerr's funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon last, Rev. J. K. Smith officiating. The large attendance testified the respect in which the deceased lady and her family are held in the community. Galt Reporter Dec 12 1884 pg 1
