    • AITKEN, MARGARET (Nee Neilson)

      On Wednesday night, [January 11, 1922], at her residence on the 4th concession of Puslinch, at the age of 68 years. Relict of Andrew Aitken. Mr. Aitken had been ill only a few days. She was born in Esquesing Township, Halton County and came with husband to Puslinch thirty-eight years ago. She was highly respected by all who knew her. A few days ago, she took a paralytic stroke, from which she never rallied. Mrs. Aiken had a loveable disposition and made many friends among her neighbours and among the townspeople as well. She was a devoted member of St. Andrew's Church. Mr. Aiken passed away only last March and a daughter, Mrs. Richardson lost a little boy, so that the family have been greatly bereaved during the past year. A family of five survive: Mrs. A. S. Murray of Weston; Mrs. Charles Richardson of Gourock; Mrs. Charles Austin of Eramosa; Mrs. John Erhardt of Puslinch; and Thomas, at home. The funeral was held on Friday at 2 from her residence. Interment at Hespeler Cemetery.
