• Notes

  Death of Mrs. Marshall Seventeen Years in Business in Ayr The passing on Dec 5 of Mrs. Jessie Guthrie Marshall marks another epoch in the history of our community. Born in North Dumfries 67 years ago, she spent all her life in and around Ayr, with the exception of two years on a farm near Brantford. It is scarcely necessary to say that during this long period Mrs. Marshall witnessed a great transformation in the country. From a condition little better than a wilderness, she saw the country develop and become one of the finest agricultural, industrial and commercial centres in Canada. Seventeen years ago the deceased went into business here in partnership with her sister, Mrs. Gerbig. Two years later she branched out for herself and continued in business up to the time of her death. She had been in poor health for some time, so that final dissolution was not unexpected. An only child, Mr. J. David Marshall, survives. A sister and five brothers are also living. They are Mrs. Chas. H. Gerbig, Ayr; and Messrs. David Guthrie, Superior, Neb., John D. Guthrie, Ayr, Wm. Guthrie, Ingersoll, Gen. H. Guthrie, New Dundee, and Thos. Guthrie, North Dumfries. The funeral took place on Sunday, service being held in Knox United Church, of which denomination deceased was a member, and was conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. J. Brown. The pallbearers were Messrs. Wm. Manson, Morton Guthrie, R. Morton, Andrew Hall, John Gemmel and Geo. D. Black. The Ayr News Dec 13 1917 pg 1
