James Wilson, and to them were born a family of eight children, all of whom reside within a radius of 20 miles and were present with her during the last weeks of her life. There are also 28 grandchildren and five great grandchildren. The funeral service was held Tuesday afternoon from her late residence to St. Paul's United Church, interment being made in Middleville Greenwood Cemetery, her pastor. Rev. K D.

This was the lot assigned to James and Janet but James drowned on the way to Lanark County. His son John was eighteen at the time and although the minimum age for receiving land was nineteen he was permitted to take on the lot that would have gone to his father. Neighbours helped the young people to get established and it was left to the older girls to care for the house and younger siblings.
