McRae, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Glenmorris, which sad event occurred at the Manse, Glenmorris, at 11.30 p. m. on Wednesday, Jan. 4th, 1922, after an illness of nearly two years from the effects of influenza. The deceased, who was in her 39th year, was born in South Dumfries, and was married in 1912. For some time she resided at Kintyre, where her husband was pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and later at Gobles, in both of which spheres she was active in church work, and was beloved in these congregations. As a young woman she was connected with Knox Church, Ayr, where she was a member of the choir and a worker in ?.. Besides her husband and three sons, Donald, Neil and Andrew, her father, Mr. Wm. McRuer, South Dumfries, two brothers and two sisters, also survive. The brothers and sisters are Robert and William McRuer, South Dumfries , Mrs. Morton Hall, Blenheim; Mrs. Wyllie Guthrie, South Dumfries.
