She was the youngest member of her family and attained a greater age than any of her brothers or sisters. Her husband was the second youngest of his family and lived to a greater age than any of the other members. She was a Presbyterian, being a member of the former Stanley Street Church here.

Scott, RR 2 Ayr; John, of Galt; Thomas of Galt; Walter of Gleichen, Alberta; Edward of Orillia, and Robert and James of Ayr.
