      Mr. and Mrs. Easton celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in October, 1944. Mrs. Easton was a member of Knox United Church, a member of the Kate M. Thomson Auxiliary, and a former valued member of the Women's Institute.

      Besides her husband, she is survived by two children, James and Mary, at home; one sister, Mrs. William S. Marshall, Ayr, and two brothers, John Robson, Alsask, Sask., and Andrew Robson. Toronto.
