    • MRS. JOHN PAGE
      Esteemed Ayr Resident Passes In Galt Hospital on Saturday In Her 81st Year


      Mrs. John Page, an esteemed resident of Ayr, passed away in Galt Hospital on Saturday at 8.30 a.m., in her 81st year. Mrs. Page was taken seriously ill some three weeks ago and removed to the hospital for treatment, but her condition grew steadily worse, with complications setting in.

      She was born in North Easthope township, in a section which was later incorporated into the city of Stratford, being a daughter of Esther Linton, a native of Scotland, and Robert Thompson Patterson, a son of one of the early settlers of Perth County. Her maiden name was Helen Thompson Patterson.

      Upon her marriage to John Page, they resided in Blenheim township, one mile south of Perry's Corners, for a time, removing to the farm east of Ayr, now occupied by William Page, about 32 years ago. The family moved to Ayr 18 years ago.

      Mrs. Page was a member of Knox United Church, an active member of the Women's Association of the congregation, and a member of the Women's Institute. She also did much sewing for the Hospital Aid, continuing with this work until taken with her last illness.

      Mrs. Page is survived by three sons, as follows: Alvin, Robert and William, all of Ayr; also by eight grandchildren. Her husband predeceased her eight years ago. Also surviving are the following sisters and brothers: Mrs. Thos. Callanan, Ayr ; Mrs. A. Battler, Haysville; George Patterson, South Haven, Mich.; Adam Patterson, Plattsville; Andrew Patterson, Galt, and Robert Patterson, Ayr.

      The Funeral.

      The funeral, which was held from the home of her son, Alvin Page, Manley street, on Monday afternoon. was largely attended. Included among those present were many friends and relatives from out-of-town points. Rev. R. A. Steed, pastor of Knox United Church, was in charge of the services, while Mrs. C. W. Davis and Mrs. J. M. Hunt sang the selection, "The Old Rugged Cross," with Mrs. J. C. Swan acting as accompanist. The pallbearers were: John McTavish, Burgessville; Alexander McTavish, Drumbo; Robert Nairn, Stratford; Herbert Patterson, Jerseyville; Robert Crerar, Bright, and James D. Patterson, Ayr,
