• Notes

  In Galt, on Sunday morning 3rd July, at 7 o'clock, Isabella Fulton, widow of the late James Gourlay, aged 66 years. Galt Reporter Jul 8 1887 pg 1 ________________________ Death of Mrs. James Gourlay Succumbing to the third attack, of paralysis of the brain, this well-known resident of Galt passed away on Sunday morning last a little after 7 o'clock. Twice previously, Mrs. Gourlay had been attacked, the second attack being so serious that her life was almost despaired of, but she recovered and was apparently in good health up to the time of her seizure on Sunday morning. Rising as usual that morning she opened the shades of the windows to air the house and then laid down on the bed again. Her daughter noticed that she was breathing very hard and spoke to her. Getting no reply, she became alarmed, and trying to wake her found she was insensible. From that time to the end was but a few minutes, the deceased lady passing away unconscious and apparently without suffering. Mrs. Gourlay was the widow of our well-known resident, Mr. Jas. Gourlay of the Electric Light Works; Messrs. Willian and Alex Gourlay of the Macgregor, Gourlay & Co. Machine Works, and Mrs. John Kirk, Mrs. Wm. Ewart and Misses Margaret and Elizabeth Gourlay. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon and was very largely attended. As an evidence of the longevity of some of our residents we may say that the united ages of the six old friends of the family who were pall-bearers amounted to 413 years, and that Mrs. Gourlay's mother is yet alive, being we believe, upwards of 98 years of age.
