  	"There passed away in Montreal last Thursday, January 19 in the person of Mrs. Margaret Webster, a lady who at one time was a well known resident of Perth. She was born here in 1847 [?] and was a daughter of William Lillie, a prominent businessman and one of the pioneers of Perth. Her brother, Robert Lillie was one of the most active figures in the industrial life of our town for many years prior to his removal to Vancouver, B.C. As a young lady, Miss Margaret Lillie was a zealous worker in Knox church during the ministry of Rev. Messrs. Duncan and Barns serving for a long time as teacher in the Sabbath school. On her marriage in 1875[?] to Mr. George Webster of Montreal she removed to that city, and at once entered into the religious philanthropic work of the great metropolis. She became identified with St. Paul's Presbyterian church, and during the ministry of Rev. Dr. Barclay, was one of his most faithful and active workers. She had charge of a large primary class in Nazareth St. for many years and was an active worker in the ladies aid, W.F.M.S. and other church organisations. But she was too broad-minded and large hearted to confine her activities to her own church. Those in poverty or distress, regardless of their denomination, found in her a ready friend and helper. Many a sufferer, too, in hospitals of Montreal have been cheered by her timely visits. After the death of her husband in 1900, most of her time was devoted to relief work among the poor. Mrs. Webster's sudden death in Montreal came as a great shock to her many friends. The remains were brought to Perth for interment. The funeral service was held on Sunday afternoon at the home of her niece Mrs. Samuel Thornbury, and was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Carrier of Knox church assisted by Rev. Mr. Richardson of Asbury church. A large concourse of mourning friends accompanied the body to its last resting-place in Elmwood cemetery. Mrs. Webster is survived by her brother, Robert Lillie of Vancouver and by several nephews and nieces."
