Baptized 29 Apr 1851 at St. Andrew's, Perth.
At the family residence in the township of Bathurst, near Fallbrook, the death occurred on Saturday, June 2nd, of Margaret Mason Miller, relict of the late William Blair, after an illness for eight months with cancer of the stomach. Margaret Mason Miller, daughter of the late Mr and Mrs George Miller, was born 67 years ago on the 3rd line, township of Bathurst, on the homestead now occupied by Mr. George Miller. Her mother's name was Helen Mason; Robert and Andrew, deceased, and George on homestead were brothers; Mrs W.M. Gibson, Lacombe; Mrs Ritchie and Miss Miller, deceased, and Miss Catherine Miller, Perth, were sisters.
About forty-five years ago Mr. and Mrs. Blair were marrried and settled down on the 3rd line of Bathurst. Thirty-two years ago they moved to the present family home on the banks of the Fall River, one mile from the village of Fallbrook. There were six sons and daughters - Mrs D.A. Fisher, Harper; Mrs. John Korry, 3rd line, Bathurst; Gertrude and John at home; Arthur, Dominion Land Surveyor in the West and William G., now a medical Captain with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces in France.
Mrs. Blair was a member of the Presbyterian church at Balderson in the parsonage of Rev. J.G. Greig, and followed consistently in her daily life the Christian principles which she avowed. She was a faithful wife and mother, and had a supreme devotion for her family, and was ever ready to do good.
The funeral took place on Tuesday, June 5th, from Fallbrook to Elmwood cemetery, Perth, where interment was made. Rev. J.G. Greig conducted the religious services at the house. The pallbearers were John Korry, Fred Fisher, Norman Miller, George Miller, James Anderson and Robert Innes. The funeral was largely attended and there were many floral offerings.
