Notes - Passing of Annie Easton \endash Of the various kinds of people who are being laid to rest n our village cemetery, the most interesting now are the old pioneers, and Miss Annie Easton, who was buried here on Monday afternoon, is a prominent one in this class, a factor in her case being her age, which was 93 years, having been born in 1838. She was born near Copse Holm in Roxburghshire, Scotland, and came with her father and mother ? about 1840. The family settled on the farm, now owned by and being next east of Mr. Albert Gillespie's about 2 miles southeast of Ayr, this place, ever since, . being known as the "Easton Homestead". When the family settled on their Canadian home, it comprised the father, Alexander Easton, the mother whose maiden name was Jane Kyle, their sons, William, Andrew, Thomas, George and Robert, and their daughters, Jane and Annie. William went to Australia during the late fifties, George died early in life, and Jane became Mrs. W. Gladstone and went to Missouri about the year 1870. Miss Annie continued to dwell at home and cared for her aged parents until they died, then for a time made her home with her brother Andrew on the 10th Concession of Blenheim. When her sister-in-law died, she returned to the old home and took care of the family, and continued to dwell with her brother Robert till he died, since then she has made her home with her two nieces, Mrs. W. Nichol and Mrs. J. P. McCammon, of Paris. During her long stay near Ayr she was a member of Stanley St. Church, and after going to Paris, belonged to the Presbyterian Church there, and in her daily life lived and acted the kind of Christian that she professed to be. Her father had been a shepherd in Scotland, and like most men of his class; was a God-fearing man and his home was ruled by gentleness, kindness and sympathy for others. These are the influences that made Miss Easton, so valuable to her young relatives and friends by her serenity, gentleness and kindness of disposition. The funeral on Monday was largely attended, the services being in charge of Rev. Dr. McKenzie of Paris. The pall bearers were Messrs. Walter Nichol; J. McCammon, and Andrew, George, William and Arthur Easton.
