Robson, in her 83rd year, after an illness of three months. Deceased, whose maiden name was Christina Gemmell, was born in North Dumfries township and had spent all of her lifetime in this community. For a period of about fifty years the family resided on the farm northwest of the C. P. R. crossing at the Ayr depot, but for the past ten years Mrs. Robson had resided in Ayr. Upon becoming ill some three months ago, she went to live with her daughter, Mrs. John Easton, in South Dumfries. Mrs. Robson was a valued member of Knox United Church and took a deep interest in the Ladies' Aid Society and other organizations of the congregation. She was also a member of the Women's Institute for a long term of years. Of a bright and energetic disposition, deceased had a host of warm friends, who always found her ready and willing to assist in time of need. She is survived by three sons and two daughters, as follows: John, Alsask, Sask.; Morton, Ayr; Andrew, Toronto; Mrs. John Easton, South Dumfries, and Mrs. W. S. Marshall, Blenheim. Her husband predeceased her in 1911. The funeral will take place at the Ayr Cemetery this (Thursday) afternoon at 2.30 o'clock.
