• Notes

  MCGINNIS, JANE (Nee Keough - sometimes spelled Kehoe) At the great age of 98 years, Mrs. Hugh McGinnis, at the home of her son, John in Berlin, ON, shortly before midnight on Saturday, 10th October 1908. Until she sustained a fall about three months ago and had a hip badly injured, she was up and around with as much activity as many women twenty years her junior. She has been confined to her room for about eleven weeks and latterly dropsy had set in. Her vitality gradually lessened and the end was not unexpected. She was born in Potsdam, NY in 1810. She was twice married, first when young to a Mr. Sullivan, to whom she bore two children. After his death, she married Hugh McGinnis and with him settled on a farm near Downey's School in Puslinch. She was the mother of twelve children, of whom the following survive: Mrs. R. D. McDonald of West Branch, Michigan; Mrs. J. Clancy of Cleveland; Mrs. A. Smith of Toronto; Mrs. D. Fields of Galt; Mrs. R. Fields of Toronto; Bernard of Colorado; Joseph of Toronto; John of Berlin; and Hugh of Hespeler. Joseph and Bernard died in the same year about four summers past. Mr. McGinnis Sr. died twenty-four years ago. For many years, she lived in Hespeler but for seven years, has had her home with her son, John in Berlin. She was a most remarkable old lady. Up until quite recently, she took a keen interest in current events of both local and general interest. She read different newspapers and was exceedingly well informed. She delighted in visits from her friends of past years and in talking over bye gone days. She was widely known and respected and retained her faculties to a remarkable degree until the close of her life. She was a devout member of the Roman Catholic Church and a regular attendant. The funeral took place on Tuesday from St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church to the Roman Catholic Cemetery in Berlin. -Information from the death certificate of Catherine Fields: Of 56 Nairn Ave. , Toronto.
