    Although Mrs. Glaister has been ill for the past year and for some time latterly quite low, yet her death on Tuesday …?... sorrow in the community where she has lived and been known so long. Born in Banffshire, Scotland, she came, when only five years old, with her parents to Canada, first settling in Woolwich Township, but shortly afterwards removing to Berlin where she received her public and grammar school education. When about twenty years of age she was married to the late Mr. Glaister. They moved at once to the large Glaister farm, a mile or so east of Crosshill, where she has lived ever since. Her five children are all living in this vicinity, with the exception of John, who removed to Battleford, Sask., this spring, Dr. Wm. Glaister of this village being among the number. Deceased was a member of the Crosshill Presbyterian church. She was of a quiet loveable disposition, devoting her highest duties to home and its up-building. Her remains will be laid away to rest beside her husband, who died 23 years ago, in Rush's cemetery this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock.

    Notes:

    Deborah Glaister was born in Wellesley Township in 1906 into a medical family. Her father's high expectations and diagnostic skills influenced her greatly to choose medicine over the more traditional role of nursing.

    Glaister graduated from the University of Toronto Medical School in 1932 and did post-graduate work in England. In 1936 she returned to Wellesley, Ontario to assist her ailing father with his medical practice. For several years, Dr. Debbie, as she was known, took on a busy rural caseload and she was Wellesley Township's first female physician. Her deep compassion and professionalism made her very popular with her patients.

    In 1943 the recently married Glaister-Hannay joined the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps where she qualified as Captain. After the war Glaister-Hannay had a full medical practice as Kitchener's first female specialist. She later joined Freeport Hospital, eventually becoming the hospital's chief of staff.

    In 1999, Wellesley Township honoured its first female doctor by naming a road Deborah Glaister Line.
