  • Notes 
    • Death of an Old Resident

      An old and respected resident of Galt, in the person of Mr. Charles McWilliam, passed away at his residence, Maple Avenue, on Monday last, after a short illness from inflammation of the lungs. Mr. McWilliam, who was born in Port Patrick, Scotland, came to Galt in the year 1861, at first entering into partnership in the tailoring business, with Mr. Donald McCrae. After this he worked for Mr. Angus Polson, now of Passadena, Cal.; but for the past twenty-three years has been steadily in the employment of Messrs. N. E. J. Wilkins, merchant tailors. As a token of "respect for their old and faithful employee, the store of the firm was closed during the funeral on Monday afternoon. The deceased was twice married. By his first marriage he had six children, two of whom survive him, viz., Charles and Archibald, who reside in Galt. By his second he had two sons and two daughters, viz., Thomas and Forbes, Margaret and Jessie, who with Mrs. McWilliam are left to mourn the loss of an affectionate husband and father.
