  • Notes 
    • Mrs. Marshall McKerlie - The death occurred in Burlington yesterday (Wednesday) morning of Mrs. Marshall McKerlie, a native of this community, aged 73 years. Mrs. McKerlie was born on the farm now occupied by Paul Maeder, her maiden name being Marion Lyons. Following her marriage to Robert Findlater, whose death occurred 17 years ago, she lived near Wrigley's Corners for many years. She took an active part in church work and other community organizations, and was much esteemed by a wide acquaintanceship. She subsequently married Marshall McKerlie of Burlington, who survives her, along with two sons, Lyon Findlater, Wrigley's Corners, and Roy Findlater, Galt. One brother, John Lyons, of Burlington also survives. The funeral takes place by motor from Burlington on Friday at 2 p.m., to the Ayr Cemetery.
