• Notes

  Craigie, Elizabeth There died in Galt on Sunday morning, at half past five o'clock, one of Galt's oldest and most respected residents, Elizabeth Cowan, wife of Mr. George Craigie, Crown St. The deceased was born in Traquair, Peeblesshire, Scotland, seventy-three years ago. She was married in Roxburghshire, near Jedborouh, forty nine years ago and about nine years afterwards, with her husband came to Canada, settling in Galt and has lived on the homestead all but one year since that time. The deceased leaves two children; Alfred, who lives in Toronto and is married and Christiana, who lives at home. She was a sister of Mr. Wm. Cowan, Pollock Avenue. There were three brothers and four sisters in her family, all of whom came to Canada, 40 years ago and Mrs. Craigie's death makes the first break in the family. The bereaved will have the deepest sympathy of their many friends. The Dumfries Reformer 8 Sep 1892 pg 1
