Waterloo Historical Society Death Notices Collection - photocopies __________________ Miss Fair's Demise - the passing at 5.30 p.m. on Friday, July 26, of Emily N. Fair, though not unexpected, cast a deep shadow over the community. The deceased was an only daughter of the late William Fair and was a native of the village, her birth dating back a little over a quarter of a century. Though the picture of health and of a most cheerful, kindly disposition, she was the victim of a spinal trouble that finally developed tuberculosis. For the past few years she filled a responsible position in Toronto but came home ill about the first of the present year. Although given the best of medical treatment, her condition gradually grew worse until death supervened. To complicate matters, her mother has also been quite ill and is still in a precarious state. Four brothers also survive, viz., William, Detroit, Duncan and John, Strathclair, Man., and James G., Ayr. The funeral on Sunday was very largely attended, the services being conducted by Rev. John Thomson, pastor of Knox church, assisted by Rev. D. I. Ellison and Rev. John McRae, interment being made in Ayr cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs. A. E. Watson, John Wyllie, Jas. Henderson, W. L. Anderson (Galt), Robert Anderson and Jas. Swan. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, indicating the loving esteem in which the deceased was held by a large circle of friends and associates. The News expresses the feeling of the community in Extending to the family the most sincere sympathy in this their hour of trial and sole bereavement. The Ayr News Aug 1 1907 pg 8
