      _________________________________

      Demise of William Currie

      There passed away last Wednesday evening, William Currie, who for the past eight years resided in Ayr. Born in the Township of Dumfries in the year 1841 Mr. Currie experienced a great deal of the hardships of pioneer life. IN 1869 he married Agnes Little of Blue Lake, who predeceased him ten years. A family of three survive him - Frederick, Jean and Isabel. Mr. Currie also leaves two brothers, John and peter of Ayr, and one sister, Mrs. Christie of Toronto. The deceased was a man of good ability, and was up till his death a valued member of Session of Stanley-st. church. In his early life he took a keen interest in Sunday School work and one of the best tributes to his sterling character and uprightness is found in the circumstance that he continued in that work for 55 years and during that time he organized a large number of rural Sunday Schools. His funeral on Saturday to the Ayr cemetery showed the esteem in which he was held by the large number who gathered to pay their last respects. The pallbearers were Messrs. John G. Watson, C. McGeorge, Wm. Richmond; James Richardson, J. L. Black, and David Brown. He was 72 years of age.
