Funeral Card of Isabella Stoddard From: Doon Heritage Crossroads, Accession Number: X.961.196.001 _________________________ The death occurred in Ayr on Sunday morning of Isabella Stoddar, relict of the late Sylvanus Wrigley, at the ripe old age of 84 years. The deceased was a native of New York state and came when only a child to this country. The family took up land between Galt and Glenmorris in North Dumfries, and have lived in the township, with the exception of a few years in Ayr, continuously. The husband, Sylvanus Wrigley, a sturdy pioneer, who died some years ago, was one of the best known and most highly esteemed farmers in the district. For seventeen years he ably filled the office of collector of the township. The Late Mrs. Wrigley was a consistent member of the Baptist denomination. She was a lady of quiet, unassuming demeanor, but possessed rare faculties of mind and qualities of disposition which earned for her the admiration and love of a wide circle. She was kind and charitable, a good neighbour, an admirable wife and the devoted mother of five children, of whom four are alive: Archibald of Corunna Michigan; George of Winnipeg, the well-known newspaper man formerly editor of the 'Farmers Sun', Toronto; Joseph, the respected township clerk; and Margaret, the daughter at home. The fifth, a daughter, Annie, passed away twenty years ago. All who enjoyed the acquaintance of the deceased lady unite in speaking her praises and the universal sentiment is the she has gone to enjoy well-earned rest and reward, after of life of true and exemplary womanhood. The funeral took place to Ayr cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. The Ayr News 26 Jan 1905
