Mrs A. Cochran Of Ramsay Passes, At Age of 79 Years
Deceased Took Active Part, In Social and Religious Work
Attended by a host of friends and relatives from this district and more distant points, the funeral of the late Mrs Andrew Cochran was held on Sunday afternoon from the family residence, Seventh concession of Ramsay, to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. Mrs Cochran was one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of the North Lanark section. Her maiden name was Catherine Wilson and she was born in Lanark Township in 1856, a daughter of the late Catherine and Daniel Wilson. In 1883 she married Andrew Cochran, prominent Ramsay farmer, who survives her. At the time of her death early Saturday morning, Mrs Cochran had reached the advanced age of 79 years. Left to mourn Mrs Cochran, in addition to the husband, are four sons and one daughter, namely, Alex of Ramsay, Wilson of Sudbury, Milton of the homestead, Kenneth of Portland, Oregon, and Isobel, Mrs W.A. Jamieson of Almonte. Another son, Lieut Robert H. Cochran fell in the World War. Three sisters and four brothers also survive. They are Mrs Angus Sutherland and Miss Hattie of Almonte; Mrs Harold Philips of Regina; R.C. Wilson of Toronto; J.W.S. Wilson of Arnprior; Howard Wilson of Lloydminster, Sask., and William Wilson of Clayton. Some idea of the active interest taken by the late Mrs Cochran in the social and religious activities of the district may be gained from the following facts in connection with her long life. A member of the Presbyterian church and a life member of the Women's Missionary Society since 1912, she always took an active part in every organization of the church. She was the first president of the Almonte Branch of the Women's Institute and also organized the branches at Clayton and Antrim. She was a member of the Alexandra Club and an honourary director of the N.L.A.S. for many years. Funeral services were conducted at the home and grave on Sunday afternoon by Rev A.J. Fowlie, pastor of Almonte Presbyterian Church, assisted by Rev J.M. Rutherford of the Reformed Presbyterian Church; Rev Wm Aird of the Baptist Church and Rev Andrew McLauchlin of Trinity United Church. The pallbearers were: Wilbert Cochran, Wm Jamieson, Sylvester Moir, Andrew Stewart, James Steele, and Wm Philip. Among the many floral tributes were those from the Presbyterian Church; Women's Institute; Canadian Legion; Granite Chapter of Royal Arch Mason and Mississippi Lodge A.F. & A.M. The death of Mrs Cochran is widely regretted breaking as it does another link with the historic past. The sympathy of a large circle of friends is extended to surviving members of the family.
