  Death of Mary Ellen Whitson - The sudden death occurred at her home here on Sunday evening at 7.15 o'clock of Mary Ellen Whitson, in her 66th year. Miss Whitson had prepared and eaten supper with her brother, Edward, when she was seized with a stroke about 6.30 o'clock, from which death resulted within the hour. Deceased had been in poor health for several months during the past winter, but her condition had shown much improvement in recent months. Born in Greenfield, deceased had lived the whole of her lifetime in this community, with the exception of three years in Vancouver and two years in Hamilton. She was the second daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Whitson, one of the early families of the village, and was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends, who will regret to learn of her demise. Miss Whitson attended Knox United Church, and she is survived by two sisters and one brother, viz.: Mrs. John Melvin, Galt; Mrs. J. C. Kyle and Edward Whitson, Ayr. Two nieces and a nephew also survive. There was a large attendance at the funeral, which took place on Tuesday afternoon to Ayr Cemetery. Rev. J. W. Currie was in charge of the services, and the pallbearers were: Wm. Manson, A. G. Watson, G. S. Dalrymple, W. E. Gammon, J. W. Currie and Thomas Easton. The Ayr News Jul 2 1936 pg 6
