  • Notes 
    • Death of Mrs. Falland - Passing of Third Member of Swan Family in Less than Three Years - On Wednesday, April 21st, for the second time within a month and the third time in less than two and one-half years, death visited the family of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Swan, when Mrs. John Falland of Clinton, whose maiden name was Agnes Swan, passed away suddenly in her sleep as the result of a heart attack. Deceased, who was in her 64th year, was born on the 10th concession of Blenheim, and left Ayr about 40 years ago. After residing in Galt, Hamilton and Toronto, she had lived in Clinton for the past 17 years. She was predeceased by her sister, Mrs. Thomas Marshall, on Nov. 15th, 1934, and another sister, Mrs. Andrew Vietch, on the 26th March of this year. Besides her husband, she is survived by one son and three daughters; also by two brothers, James of Ayr and George of Chatham. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon from her late home in Clinton to the Ayr Cemetery, six members of the Lady True Blue Lodge, of which deceased was a member, acting as pallbearers at that point. The service at the graveside here was conducted by Rev. J. W. Currie, with J. C. Swan, George Swan, Moir Swan and George Swan, Jr., acting as pallbearers.
