Notes:

District's Outstanding Cattleman, Jairus W. Maus Passes - A man who became almost a legend in his lifetime, as the head of the largest beef cattle operation in the East, Jairus W. Maus, RR 3, Ayr, died on Sunday in his 77th year. The late Mr. Maus was a passenger in a car driven by his grandson, James Maus, when he suffered a heart attack. For many years the name Maus has been synonymous with beef cattle production, and Fairview Farms Ltd., the Maus holdings, were among the largest suppliers of beef not only to Toronto markets but to Buffalo and other American markets, on occasion. He was born in South Dumfries, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John William Maus, and this locality became the subsequent headquarters for his cattle and farming operation. Besides having a keen business mind, Mr. Maus had a natural instinct in the selection and raising of cattle which many other cattlemen maintained was "more than could be learned." They often noted with admiration, almost bordering on awe, his ability to estimate the weight of a pen of cattle within a few pounds, or select Western stocker calves that grew into top grade cattle in the East. It was said that through his selections in the West there were more good beef cattle raised by district farmers in his generation than had seemed possible in previous years. In fact, in recent years the Fairview Farms brought East 400 or more carloads annually, according to the Canadian Cattlemen publication. In 1940 he had four farms in this area, and began his expansion program as his sons became old enough to assist. The holdings have continued to increase over the years, with some 2,300 acres in the Ayr district and a somewhat larger acreage in the Kincardine area bearing the familiar Fairview name. Of late Fairview was included sheep in its livestock program. The late Mr. Maus was an active and valued member of Knox United Church, serving as a member of the session and a former trustee. He was a strong supporter of various church projects over the years. His wife, the former Elizabeth Ann Baxter, died in 1957. An infant daughter, Frances Ann, died in 1930. Surviving are four sons, Dr. John H., Windsor; Richard Douglas, RR 3, Ayr; Donald S., Kincardine, and Hugh C., RR 3, Ayr; four daughters, Elizabeth M., Hamilton; Mrs. Ian (Agnes) Thomson, Colorado Springs, Col.; Mrs. Duncan (Jean) McGugan, Strathroy, and Mrs. A. W. (Margaret) Bond, Smithville; and three sisters, Janet, Laurie and Mrs. N.H. (Estelle) Bennett, all of Ayr. There are 27 grandchildren. Funeral service was held today (Wednesday) from Knox United Church conducted by Rev. D. E. Willis. Interment was in Ayr Cemetery.
