Mrs. J. T. Somerville
On Saturday evening the last call to pass on to the home beyond, came to one of our older and well respected citizens of our community in the person of Mrs. John T. Somerville, who for some time had been in falling health. Elizabeth Ann Rodger was the fourth child of Wm. Rodger and Jane Stewart and was born Nov. 1858, on the farm at Arklan where her brother D. S. Rodger now lives. On October 8th, 1890, she was united in marriage to John T. Somerville and they made their home in this community. To them were granted a family of six children, Jennie, Mrs. David McFarlane; Arthur, William, Rodger of Perth; Eric, Lanark; Ida C. of Lyons; Helen, Mrs. Alva Rintoul of Ramsay. Mrs. Somerville, while one of the busy home-loving kind, was a faithful, loving wife and mother, yet she always found time to attend those, causes which stand for the highest and best in community life, as long as her health permitted. She was a member for a number of years in the W.M.S., a member of the Ladies' Aid and for many years an active member of the W. I. We extend our sympathy to all those bereaved, the husband and the family, also her sisters, Isabella, Mrs. Wm. J. Affleck of Toronto; Mary, Mrs. Geo, Stead of Hopetown; Maud and a adopted sister, Mrs. M. Darling of New York, and one brother, David S. on the homestead. The funeral services were conducted on Tuesday afternoon by her pastor, Rev. J. C. Lowrie. Many floral tributes were in evidence from W.M.S., Hunters' Club, W. I. and friends and relatives. Interment was made in Greenwood cemetery at Middleville.
Elizbeth married John Thompson Somerville in 1890. John (son of John M. Somerville, Sr. and Catherine "Katie" Ballantyne) was born on 25 Dec 1858 in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 27 Jun 1941 in Middleville Pioneer Cemetery, Middleville, Lanark Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Middleville, Lanark Highlands, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
