• Notes

  DEATH OF MRS. KILGOUR She Passed Away Friday Afternoon After a lingering Illness Many friends in Galt and vicinity will be pained to learn of the death of Jane Caldwell, relict of the late William Kilgour. This lady, who was held in much esteem and was widely known, has been ailing since December last and of late was a great sufferer. Her death was not, therefore, unexpected, and came Friday afternoon, at two o'clock, as a release from pain and trouble. Jane Caldwell, the subject of this sketch, was born in the northern part of Ireland and was in the 68th year of her age. She came with her parents to Canada at an early age and first settled in Blenheim Township, near Ayr. Some forty-five or six years ago, she was married to the late William Kilgour, who passed away about thirty-three years since. Mr. Kilgour came originally from Hamilton and at the time of his marriage was a well-known farmer in Blenheim. He removed to Ayr, some years after his marriage and subsequently went to Paris to reside. It was in the latter town that his death took place. Mrs. Kilgour, then left a widow, continued to make her home there for some time. Then she removed to Ayr and some twenty-five years ago took up her residence in Galt, where she has resided ever since. Her death took place at the residence of her son, Joseph Kilgour, Park Avenue. Mrs. Kilgour was the sole surviving member of a family of twelve children, with the exception of one brother, Mr. George Caldwell, who resides at Branchton. Mr. J. Caldwell, of the Central Hotel, is a nephew of the deceased. The family of three sons and two daughters, are left to mourn the demise of an affectionate mother. The sons are, William, Robert and Joseph, all of Galt. The daughters are, Mrs. John McMicken, London, and Mrs. James McAuslan, Galt. Deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church here and was a loving wife, a faithful mother and a true friend. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, at three o'clock, from the residence of Mr. Joseph Kilgour, Park Avenue, to Mt, View cemetery. The Weekly Reformer 22 Aug 1895 pg 3
