Notes:

Mrs. A.G. Brohman - Death Claims Highly Esteemed Ayr Lady on Sunday

Although not unexpected, the demise of Mrs. A.G. Brohman on Sunday morning came as a distinct shock to the residents of this community. Taken with a fatal malady last fall, an operation temporarily improved her condition, but during the past month or more she rapidly lost ground, terminating in her death on Sunday.

Deceased, whose maiden name was Maude Kyle, was a lady of much talent and a most pleasing personality. She was highly esteemed by a host of friends and took an active part in the Women's Institute, Ladies' Bowling Club and the choir and various women's organizations of Knox United Church of which she was a member. She was born in Ayr 45 years ago and spent all of her lifetime in this village.

The loss of her husband about a year ago and the suffering she endured during the long months of her illness were borne by Mrs. Brohman with much courage. Receiving her friends with her old-time cheerfulness, she retained interest in the affairs of the village until the end.

Besides her sorrowing mother, she is survived by one son, Edward, of the O.A.C., Guelph, both of whom will have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.

The Funeral

Many sorrowing friends and relatives attended the funeral, which took place to Ayr Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. The Rev. J.W. Currie had charge of the services, while a quartette, comprising Mrs. J.M. Hunt, Mrs. G.A. Graham, A.L. Easton and A.G. Watson, sang the selection, "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." Many beautiful floral tributes bore silent testimony to the high esteem in which deceased was held. The pallbearers were: G.H. Lawrence, J.C. Swan, M.A. Cochrane, J.C. Kyle, L.R. Gifford, Toronto, and Alex Brohman, Kitchener. Friends and relatives were present from Buffalo, Toronto, Kitchener, Brantford, Paris, Winterbourne, Milton? and Guelph.
