The pallbearers were: John Cochrane, Matthew Deans, Allan Scott, Paris; Alex. Edgar, Robert Edgar, Gorrie, and Geo. D. Black, Ayr. The late Mr. Edgar, who was in his 89th year, was born on the farm now owned by William T. Edgar, two miles south-west of Ayr. He engaged in farming the greater part of his life, retiring to Paris a number of years ago. Besides his wife, he is survived by four children: Wallace, Strathclair, Man.; John, south of Paris; James, Paris, and Morton, London. One brother and one sister, William T. Edgar and Miss Mary Edgar, south-west of Ayr, also survive.
