  • Notes 
    • Popular Ayr Citizen, Ephraim Hawes Dies

      The community was saddened by the death early Saturday morning of one of its most popular residents, Ephraim Hawes, in his 65th year. Although Mr. Hawes had been in indifferent health for the past couple of years, due to a heart ailment, his passing was unexpected. He had gone to work as usual on Friday but returned home, complaining of feeling unwell. During the early hours of Saturday morning he succumbed to a heart attack. Born at Roseville, he was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ellery Hawes. While a child he moved with the family to Ayr, where his father operated a milk delivery route for some years. As a youth in his early teens, Mr. Hawes secured employment with the Reid lumber firm and for a half century, until the day of his passing, was a faithful and valued member of the staff. Mr. Hawes worked with two generations of this lumbering family, commencing with the late John Q. Reid, and latterly with the present owner, J. Howard Reid. His term of service was broken only by the outbreak of World War 1, when he enlisted with the 111th (South Waterloo) Battalion. While overseas Mr. Hawes rose to the rank of sergeant. Mr. Hawes was a member of Dolman Lodge, IOOF; Canadian Order of Foresters, the Ayr Legion and 111th Battalion Association. He served a term on Ayr Council. Mr. Hawes was an adherent of Knox United Church. Always interested in local sports,

      Mr. Hawes was an enthusiastic follower of Ayr hockey and softball teams. In earlier years he was frequently among the supporters who followed the clubs on road trips during playoff series, A man of even temperament and sound judgement, Mr. Hawes will be missed by a wide circle of friends in the district's social and business life. Surviving, besides his wife, the former Eva Walton, are two daughters, Mrs. Helen Altamore, at home, and Mrs. James Mast (Doreen) of Ayr; three sons, Lloyd and Floyd, of Galt, and Gerald, at home; five sisters, Mrs. Emory Radke, New Dundee; Mrs. Emil Fritz, Mrs. Ellis Ott and Mrs. Clarence Gress, all of Kitchener, and Mrs. Hilda Bowley, U.S.A.; and three brothers, Melvin of Bright, Edward of Toronto and Arthur of Ayr. Seven grandchildren also survive.

      The Funeral

      The funeral was held Monday from his late residence, Colquhoun street, the service being conducted by Rev. R. D. Thompson. Interment was made in Ayr Cemetery. The pallbearers were three members of his company in the 111th Bt'n, Harry Dakin, Robert Renwick and W. Porteous, of Galt, and three neighbours, James Burton, J. Howard Reid and Carl E. Buck. Members of the Ayr Legion and the 111th Bt'n Association formed a guard of honor for the cortege, and at the cemetery dropped the traditional poppies on the casket. On Sunday evening members of Dolman Lodge, I.O.O.F., conduct-ed a service at the residence.
