• Notes

  Passing of Edward Soehner - by the death on Thursday, May 16, of Edward Soehner, the community loses an esteemed citizen and the family a kind husband and loving father. The deceased, who was in his 34th year, had been ill for some time, and despite all efforts to regain his health was cut off in the prime of life. He came to Ayr just after attaining his manhood and was employed for a number of years as a moulder in the foundry. Later he engaged in business as a butcher, but was obliged to give up on account of continued ill-health. About ten years ago he married Miss Euphemia Grigg, who, together with a son and daughter - Earl and Marion - survive to mourn their loss. Mr. Soehner was a member of Court Forest of Lebranch, C.O.F., No. 75, Ayr, the members of which order, to the number of about 35, attended the funeral on Sunday in a body, interment being made in the Ayr Cemetery. The pallbearers were also foresters, those acting in that capacity being Bros. H. Griffin, A. Melvin, Chisholm Scott, Chris. Leiska, Robert Taylor and J. Urquhart. The services at both house and grave were conducted by Bro. Rev. W. E. S. James, pastor of the Methodist church. Mr. Soehner's mother and several brothers and sisters were among the mourners. The relatives from a distance who attended the obsequies included Mr. Walter Willison, sr., Mr. and Mrs. Walter Willison, jr., Wm. Willison, James Willison, B. Brown, Miss Jean Willison and Charles Soehner, Hamilton; Mrs. A. A. Reid and son, Guelph; Mrs. Soehner, sr., Mr. and Mrs. Alf Soehner, and Mr. and Mrs. Graff, Waterloo; Mr. John Grigg, Chicago, and Mrs. Geo. Evans, London. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. The Ayr News May 23 1912 pg 8
