• Notes

  Thomas Robson Passes - The death occurred on Tuesday afternoon of Thomas (Packy) Robson, Jedburg, in his 57th year, after a brief illness of meningitis. Deceased was taken ill only a few days prior to his demise and his passing came as a shock to the people of this community, in which he had spent practically all his life. He was born on the farm just west of Ayr, now owned by Mr. James Welsh, and in his younger days was one of the finest athletes ever produced by this village. He played center-forward on the hockey team which was in the finals for the O. H. A. senior championship some 32 years ago, and also occupied the position of half-back on the Ayr football team which won the intermediate championship some 35 years ago. For several years he also played hockey for Waterloo and Petrolia. He was a moulder by trade and worked in the Watson foundry for many years. He was known and esteemed by a large circle of friends, who will much regret to learn of his sudden death. Besides his widow, whose maiden name was Lizzie MacMonagle, he is survived by one son, Bobbie. Two sisters and one brother alto survive, viz.: Mrs. Ronald and Miss Margaret, Ayr; and William, Hamilton. The funeral takes place this (Thursday) afternoon to the Ayr Cemetery.
