She was a Presbyterian and a faithful member of Knox United Church; also a worker in the Ladies' Aid Society. Outside of these activities, she devoted nearly all her time to the interests of her home and family, of whom there were 14 children, and 13 survive her - one, Alice, having lost her life in a railway wreck near Paris some years ago. The surviving members comprise five daughters and eight sons. They are - Mrs. Wm. Waugh, Innerkip; Mrs. Wm. Manson, Ayr; Mrs. Murdo Lillico, Blenheim; Mrs. E.S. Boddy, Portage Laprarie; Jessie, John and Robert at home; Thomas, William and James, in Manitoba; George in Paris; Peter near Ayr, and Alexander in Toronto.

    Five sisters and two brothers are also living. Mrs. Peter Rodger resides in Greenfield; Mrs. John Ross and Mrs. Wm. Muir in Paris, and Thomas Armstrong in Woodstock. Another sister and another brother are in Australia. The funeral, which was private, took place from her late residence, Swan St., yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, Rev.

    Notes:

    James Richardson - Ayr Loses One of Its Most Esteemed Citizens - In the death of James Richardson, which occurred on Thursday night after a short illness of La Grippe and pneumonia, the village loses one of its oldest and most esteemed citizens. He was born in Roxburg, Scotland, 88 years ago, and came to Richwood, with his parents, when but a child. On June 6th, 1876, he was married to Elizabeth McCrow, in Paris, by the Rev. McLeod, and celebrated his golden wedding anniversary at the home of Mrs. McCrow, Paris Station, a year and a half ago. He farmed for a few years on the Sixth Concession of Blenheim and from there moved to his late residence in Ayr some 48 years ago. His great love for the late Rev. Walter Inglis prompted this move. He was an elder and Sabbath school teacher in Stanley Street Church for a great many years, and also acted in the former capacity in Knox United Church after the consummation of the union. Deceased was a Christian of sound convictions, faithful in his duties and church membership, and his Godly life and outstanding character have had a great influence on those with whom he came in contact. He is the last member of a family of nine, and is survived by his sorrowing widow, to whom the sympathy of the community is extended in her sad bereavement. A few lines memorized by one of his former Sunday school scholars sum up briefly the rule which governed the life of deceased: "Blessed are they that undefiled and straight are in the way; who by the Lord's most holy law do walk and do not stray." The funeral on Saturday afternoon was attended by many old friends and neighbors. The services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Currie, and the pallbearers were: Messrs. J. W. Currie, A. G. Watson, William Nicoll, Charles McKay, John L. Black and William Manson.

    Notes:

    Death of Wyllie Manson

    Long ago we had exhausted the triple adjective phrase sad, sadder, saddest, in describing the inroads of Influenza and still those pathetic words continue to apply with increased significance.

    Of all the sad cases in this community which we have been called upon to report in connection with the prevailing epidemic, perhaps the saddest so far occurred on Saturday, when a young newly married man in the person of Adam Wyllie Manson, who had just entered upon the duties and responsibilities of citizenship, was snatched from a sphere of usefulness in which he gave promise of more than average aptitude.

    Though his case was viewed with alarm from the first, the outcome was in the nature of a shock, and the deepest sympathy of the entire community goes out to the disconsolate bride, father, mother and sisters.

    Deceased was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Manson of Ayr, who had just transferred their homestead to Wyllie and moved into town. Under the circumstances his death creates a situation that will be difficult to adjust. What the solution will be time alone will determine.

    Wyllie Manson, who was in his 27th year, was born on the farm on which he died. Two months before his death he married Miss Ella Marshall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Marshall.

    From his boyhood the deceased was prominent in Sabbath school work, and at the time of his death was sec.-Treas. Of Knox United Sunday school, and was also an enthusiastic worker in other departments of the Church of which he was a consistent member. He was interested in agriculture and prominent n the Junior Farmers' club. In athletic sports he gave most attention to bowling and hockey.

    Besides his wife, father and mother, the deceased is survived by five sisters. They are - Gladys, teacher at Plattsville, (who is ill with "Flu"), Bessie, St. Catharine's, Jean, Mary, Edna, and Stella, at home. The funeral, which took place to the Ayr cemetery on Monday, was well attended, and a wealth of beautiful flowers attested the esteem in which the deceased was held. Rev. J.J. Brown conducted the service, assisted by Rev. D. (?), Toronto, formerly pastor of Stanley St. Church, Ayr. The pallbearers were Messrs. Rolland Maeder, Filshie Cuthbertson, John Edgar, Wm. Marshall, David Hall and Alex Gourlay.
