  • Notes 
    • In the death of Catherine Morton, wife of the late David Guthrie, which event occurred at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Marshall, Ayr, on the afternoon of April 14, the community loses another pioneer who was widely known and highly esteemed throughout the section. The deceased, who was in her 82nd year, was born near Kilmaurs, Ayrshire, Scotland, came to Canada with her parents in 1842, at the age of 17 years, settling in Ayr, and three years later was married to Mr. Guthrie, who, predeceased her by some years. They settled on the farm now occupied by her, son Thomas in North Dumfries, which, with the exception of an occasional visit among different members of her family continued to be her home, and from there her remains were conveyed to their last resting place in the Ayr cemetery. A large family survives, the members of which are - David in Superior, Neb., Robert in Lincoln, Neb., Mrs. Wm. Marshall, Ayr, John D , Ayr, Mrs. C. H. Gerbig, Ayr, William in Ingersoll, Ont., James in Superior, Neb., George at New Dundee and Thomas on the homestead North Dumfries. The funeral on April 16 was attended by a large number of friends, the services being conducted by the deceased's pastor, Rev. John Thomson. Thus one by one, the old settlers are passing so that bourne from whence no traveler ere returns.
