The death of Mrs. Mary Ann Edy, widow of the late Daniel Edy, and mother of Mr. W. D. Edy, of this city, occured on Sunday at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. S.S. Haight, in Hamilton. Mrs. Edy was in her 89th year. She was born at St. Catharines, Ont., and had spent most of her life at Brantford and at Guelph. In the latter city her father built the first dwelling. The building is still preserved, and is used as the C.P.R. depot. Mrs. Edy was well known throughout Brantford and surrounding country, and was noted for her activity, both physically and mentally, up to the time of her death. She was a patient, earnest Christian woman, and devoted mother. Her death was peaceful, and was due to pressure of gas on the heart. Mrs. Edy was a widow for many years. Two sons, W. D., of this city, and J. N., of Toronto, formerly of Edy Bros., here, and three daughters, Mrs. Edmunds, of Wallaceburg; Mrs. Wallace Haviland, of Oakland, and Mrs. S. S. Haight, of Hamilton, survive. One brother, Thomas Matthews, of Jackson, Mich., and one sister, Mrs. Townsend, living near Brantford, and a large number of grandchildren are left. Among the latter are the following Londoners: Lorenzo D., E. Leslie and Frank W., Mrs. F. H. Bogart, Thomas Partridge, Mrs. Boughner and Miss Maud Harpin. The funeral was held yesterday to Oakland Cemetery, near Brantford. (Source: London Advertiser, July 26, 1899.) Transcribed by G.P. MacKay. (More info about Mary Ann Matthews Edy at WikiTree.)
