Notes |
- Death of Mrs. Agnes McMillan - One of First Generation of Canadians Born in Ontario
After a long life of almost eighty-four years, and a life so wholly devoted to her family, Mrs. Agnes McMillan passed away to her eternal rest on Friday, Oct. 17th, 1924. She survived her late husband, William McMillan, by nearly thirty ears. She had lived in Ayr for forty years. Her burial took place on Monday, October 20th to Ayr cemetery.
Mrs. McMillan would rightly make the claim of being one of the first generation of Canadian born in Ontario. Her parents on both sides came to Canada in the thirties with a group of settlers from Scotland, and located in the township of Beverly, eight miles east of Galt, where they hewed out comfortable homes for themselves and families. Prominent in this new settlement were the Dickson and Jamieson families. Thomas Jamieson and Janet Dickson were married in this country, and their first born was Agnes, the subject of this sketch, who was born on Nov. 2nd, 1840. Although she was the eldest of six brothers and sisters, she outlived them all. Her own homes have been in Kirkwall, Beverly Township; Listowel, and Ayr.
She had at times related some of the anxieties and hardships of a settler's life, how it was absolutely necessary to corral the sheep and other live stock for fear of the wolves; how the trips to Galt, the market town, were attended by considerable hardship and even danger; and how many of our present day privileges and advantages, such as church, school, medical aid, and other needful things were denied them.
Mrs. McMillan married early in 1859, when, if possible, her life became still more active. She became the mother of twelve children - 5 sons and 7 daughters, Robert, who died in Winnipeg four years ago. The survivors are: Wellwood M., of Toronto; Thomas, of Ayr; John of Seattle, Wash.; Janet, of Ayr; Margaret of Rochester, N.Y.; Elizabeth D., of Ayr; Agnes, of New York City; Mary C., of Ayr; Tena (Mrs. H.R. Jacoby) of Dundurn, Sask.; William J., of Detroit; and Anna N. (Mrs. George M. Jacoby) of Dundurn, Sask.
The whole life of the deceased had been characterized by an unstinted devotion to her home and family. If anything of an outside nature occupied her attention it was the children of the community in which she lived. Appreciation of this attention was evidenced by the kindly remembrances from children in her last illness. Her Bible was her daily guide in life. Her precept and example have doubtless exerted great influence for good with those associated in any way with her. Truly "a mother in Israel" has passed to her reward.
