    Notes:

    Death of Wm. Rutherford - Native of Ayr Passes in Owatonna, Minn., Aged 85 Years - The funeral took place to the Ayr Cemetery on Saturday afternoon of William Rutherford of Owatonna, Minn., a native of Ayr. Rev. J. W. Currie, pastor of Knox United Church, had charge of the service, and the pallbearers were as follows: Wm. E. Gammon, Joseph Gordon, Wm. R. Bain, Edward Whitson, Geo. C. Smye and Stephen Gemmell. The death of Mr. Rutherford occurred at Owatonna on Wednesday afternoon, following an accident two weeks previous, in which he fell and fractured a hip. He had not been in good health for the past two years. Mr. Rutherford was born in Ayr 85 years ago last October, the son of George Rutherford and Sarah Fox, Scottish pioneers. Upon reaching manhood, he learned the trade of cooper and worked in many Ontario shops. For 28 years, he worked in the cooper shop of the Goldie Mills, Greenfield, which was later absorbed by the Canadian Cereal and Milling Company. For much of this period, he held the position of foreman. During his residence here, he did much curling, fishing and hunting, and many strings of fine speckled trout were taken by him in the days when these fish were more plentiful. Mr. Rutherford was a gentleman of the old school and was known and respected by many warm friends for his numerous sterling qualities. He was a member of Knox United Church. He had been residing with his daughter, Mrs. W. H. Kelly, Owatonna, Minn., for the past 17 years. During that period, he made four or five visits to Ayr, the last being three years ago this summer. Besides one brother, John, of Stratford, he is survived by the following children: Mrs. W. H. Kelly (Elizabeth) of Owatonna, Minn.; Ernest, Galt; George; William, Renfrew, and James B., Ayr. His wife, whose maiden name was Mary McSwain, predeceased him in 1918; a son, Harold, was killed overseas, while a daughter, Mrs. (Dr.) Jones (Nettie), died a number of years ago.
