• Notes

  Died in Ayr, on Saturday, Dec. 4th 1909 at 12.30 o'clock a. m. Thomas Easton, in his 80th year. The funeral will take place from his late residence, Manley St. on Monday, Dec. 6, 09, at 2 pm. m. to Ayr Cemetery Funeral Card ____________________ Death of Thomas Easton Thomas Easton, the subject of this brief sketch, passed away early Saturday morning, after an illness which confined him to his home for same months past. He was in his 80th year and had been a resident of the neighboring township of South Dumfries for the greater part of his life. Born in Scotland, where he received part of his education, he came to Canada about the year 1840, just after the Mackenzie rebellion, and settled in the township of South Dumfries, where he finished his schooling and grew to manhood, and where he spent a long and useful life, moving to Ayr some two years ago. Of the changes witnessed by Mr. Easton during this long period it is not necessary to write at length. Suffice it to say that from a sparcely settled primeval forest to a prosperous agricultural community was a long stride, necessitating great patience and much arduous labor. In this wonderful transition the deceased was an active unit and a personal force in every battle for the betterment of the community and the country at large. A man of good sound judgment and strong convictions, he was not easily swayed from the even tenor of a well-defined course, wielding a ready pen in his advocacy of temperance and moral reform, or the denounciation of vice in any form. In politics he was a Reformer, and in religion a Presbyterian, being a consistent, member of Knox church. Early in life he was united in marriage with Mary Richmond, who survives, together with a grown up family, the members of which are-Alexander in Brantford; William on the 10th con. of Blenheim; George near Washington; Arthur in South Dumfries; Annie (Mrs. J. S. Clark) in Ayr; Thomas in North Dumfries, and John on the homestead, South Dumfries. The funeral on Monday to Ayr cemetery was very largely attended, the services being conducted by his pastor, Rev. John Thomson, assisted by Rev. D. I. Ellison. The pallbearers were the deceased's six sons. The Ayr News Dec 9 1909 pg 8
