• Notes

  Thy Will Be Done Died In South Dumfries, on Wednesday, February 6th, 1918. at 2 p.m. Robert Cochrane Aged 59 years. The Funeral Will take place from his late residence, Lot 34, Con. 7, South Dumfries, on Saturday, Feb. 9, at 2 p.m., to Ayr Cemetery. "Heaven is Our Home" Friends and acquaintances will please accept this intimation. Funeral Card ______________ 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. The Ayr News Feb 14 1918 pg 1
