Notes:

MRS. JOHN McNAB, JR. Her maiden name was Jane Veitch. She was a bright, cheerful, happy Christian, evidently living in the light, and finding all her world in the home where God had placed her, and in living for the good of her husband and their children. She was a loving wife and a devoted mother. She had great affection for her children, and it was out of this that the great sorrow of her life came. She had a sick son, whose health never improved, and, as the sick one is the centre of the home, attracting all the attention and sympathy, and calling for all the care, he became an absorbing object of interest and concern, and when, in the providence of God, he was called away, her sense of loss was so great that she was deeply oppressed by it, and seldom did the weight lift till she went in to the haven of rest When we visited her a whole-hearted welcome always awaited us, and a real kindness ministered to our necessities ; and when we sat down to read the Word and talk of it, she was an attentive and delighted listener.

At her funeral friends were present from far and near, testifying their loving respect to the precious memory of a sweet soul, a beneficent life and a most worthy character.

Death of John G. McNab

Held Position of C. p. R. General Foreign Freight Agent, Montreal - Buried at Ayr


The sudden death occurred in Montreal on Saturday of John George McNab, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John McNab of Ayr. Born at, Reidsville, on the farm now occupied by Menno Shantz, Mr. McNab attained a position in the business world of Canada which has been reached by few other native sons of this community.

For the past year, he had been acting as general foreign freight agent of the entire Canadian Pacific Railway Company, with offices at Montreal, and, according to reports, was slated for a much higher position in the not far distant future. Leaving Ayr in 1901, Mr. McNab joined the Canadian Pacific at Winnipeg. He went to Vancouver as travelling freight agent in 1906, and in 1907 he went to Portland, Ore., in the same capacity.

Mr. McNab always had a warm spot in his heart for his native village and kept in touch with the happenings of this community through the medium of the Ayr News. Besides his wife, he is survived by one daughter; also a brother, James, Divisional Engineer of the C.P.R. at Saskatoon.

The Funeral

The funeral took place from the C.P.R. depot on Wednesday morning, upon the arrival of the 10.35 o'clock train, a service having been held in Montreal on Tuesday. A profusion of beautiful floral tributes gave silent testimony of the high esteem in which deceased was held. The service at, the graveside was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Gandier of Glenmorris in the absence of Rev. J. W. Currie on his vacation.
