  Rev. A. R. McRae - Prominent Minister Succumbs After Protracted Illness After a prolonged illness, the death occurred at his home, 141 West Colborne street, Brantford, early Saturday afternoon of Rev. Andrew Robson McRae, for the last eight years minister of Balfour Street United Church, West Brantford. Rev. Mr. McRae was ordained to the Christian ministry in 1912, after being graduated from Queen's University, Kingston, and during an active and very successful career as minister in the Presbyterian and, subsequently, United Church of Canada he served in charges at, Kintyre, Ont., East Oxford and Blenheim, Glenmorris and Brantford. He became a minister of the United Church at the time of union. Rev. Mr. McRae, who was in his 51st year, was twice married, his first wife, who was formerly Miss Rachel McRuer, predeceased him in 1922. He leaves to mourn his loss his sorrowing widow, whose maiden name was Isobel McCormick; three sons, Donald, Neil and Andrew, all at, home; 3 brothers and 2 sisters, Mrs. Sheldon Stockton, Ayr; Miss Annie McRae, Ayr; Murdo McRae. Ayr; Rev. Dr. John McRae, BA., B.D.. D.D., of Toronto. formerly President of Shantung University, Tsinah, China; and Alex. McRae, Ayr. For some three or four years past Rev. Mr. McRae had not enjoyed the best of health, but had carried on his pastoral duties faithfully until a little more than a year ago, when he was compelled through illness to relinquish his more active work. He bore his suffering with characteristic patience and Christian faith. His loss will be a severe one not only to his family and congregation but to the ministerial ranks of Brantford and to the United Church, in the councils of which, particularly in the Hamilton Conference, Rev. Mr. McRae was active. The funeral was held Monday afternoon from his late residence, West Colborne street, Brantford, where a private service was held at 2 o'clock, followed by public service, at Balfour United Church. Interment was made in Ayr Cemetery, where many Ayr friends and relatives had gathered to pay their list respect s. The pallbearers were fellow ministers of the Brantford Presbytery.
