  • Notes 
    • Death of Mrs. Glaister

      At her late residence, just east of Crosshill, on Tuesday, June 19th, 1906, Isabella McWilliams, relict of the late John Glaister, aged 62 years, four months and three days.

      Although Mrs. Glaister has been ill for the past year and for some time latterly quite low, yet her death on Tuesday …?... sorrow in the community where she has lived and been known so long. Born in Banffshire, Scotland, she came, when only five years old, with her parents to Canada, first settling in Woolwich Township, but shortly afterwards removing to Berlin where she received her public and grammar school education. When about twenty years of age she was married to the late Mr. Glaister. They moved at once to the large Glaister farm, a mile or so east of Crosshill, where she has lived ever since. Her five children are all living in this vicinity, with the exception of John, who removed to Battleford, Sask., this spring, Dr. Wm. Glaister of this village being among the number. Deceased was a member of the Crosshill Presbyterian church. She was of a quiet loveable disposition, devoting her highest duties to home and its up-building. Her remains will be laid away to rest beside her husband, who died 23 years ago, in Rush's cemetery this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock.
