Huron Expositor - 7 May 1886 ____________________ On the 23rd instant at the residence of the bride's father, Galt, by the Rev. J. K. Smith, John Cavers, Esq., Manager Royal Canadian Bank, Galt, to Maggie, second daughter of Robert Wallace, Esq. Galt Reporter Aug 25 1871 pg 3 ______________ At Hamilton, on Thursday night, April 29th, Margaret Wallace, beloved wife of John Cavers. Galt Reporter May 7 1886 pg 1 ______________ Passed Away \endash The intimation given in our columns last week will have prepared our readers today for the announcement of the death of Mrs. John Cavers, wife of John Cavers, Esq., manager Imperial Bank of Canada in Galt, which sad event took place at the residence of her parents in Hamilton on Thursday evening of last week. It was fondly hoped in the early part of the week that the crisis of Mrs. Carvers' disease was past, and that she would recover; but it was not to be, and as we have stated, she calmly sank to her eternal rest on Thursday evening. The deceased lady was the second daughter of Robert Wallace, Esq., a prominent business man of Galt in days gone by, and had spent the greater portion of her life in this town. She was united in marriage with Mr. Cavers in the year 1871, and leaves a family of five children to mourn the loss of a loving mother. She was widely known and universally respected throughout this town and neighborhood, and all will unite in extending the most heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and parents. The remains were brought to Galt for interment by the 5:13 p.m. train on Saturday. A large number of our townspeople, as well as a good representation from Ayr, assembled at the station to pay the last sad tribute of respect to one who had well a truly filled her position in life. The body was taken to the Central Presbyterian Church, where appropriate services were held, and from thence for interment in our beautiful cemetery. Galt Reporter May 7 1886 pg 1
