  • Notes 
    • Sudden Call - Mrs. Joseph Gillespie Collapses Unexpectedly - the citizens of this community were sensibly shocked on Friday morning to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. Joseph Gillespie, Northumberland Street, which event occurred at 12: 30. She had been in her usual health, so that the summons was altogether unexpected, and was attributed to heart failure. The deceased lady had reached the ripe age of 77 years. She was born in Strenraer, Wigtonshire, Scotland, and came to Ayr in her childhood, residing here ever since. Her maiden name was Marion Wallace. Early in womanhood she became the devoted wife of Joseph Gillespie, who predeceased her about 11 years. In religion she was a Presbyterian and a member of Knox United Church. Home life, household duties and the care of her family were her chief concern. A good friend and neighbor, who was esteemed by a wide acquaintance. The surviving members of the family are Joseph, Galt; Norman W., North Vancouver, and Samuel W., John W., George Murray and Mary n Ayr,. The funeral took place on Sunday, interment being made in the Ayr cemetery, with Re. J. J. Brown officiating. The pallbearers were Messrs. Walter Robson, Charles McGeorge, James Richardson, John Anderson, James Cunningham, and Andrew J. Reid.
