Obituary.--A sudden and unexpected event took place on
Sunday evening last when Mr. William Gies resident of St. Clements died very
suddenly. He with his wife and some friends had gone after supper to visit his
neighbor, Mr. George Brenner and while there, seated with the rest and talking
as usual, he suddenly gave signs of expiring. All means to recuperate were of
no avail and it was seen that death had set in. Deceased who was 68 years of age
was born in Wellesley Township and had nearly all his life time been a resident
of this district. In his former life he was a heavy land owner owning the big
farms now occupied and owned by his sons, Wm. H., John and Conrad Gies,
residing tor many years on the farm of the latter. Some 8 years ago he took up
his residence in St. Clements where he lived a retired life. His genial figure
will be greatly missed. He leaves a widow, 5 sons and three daughters, who have
our profound sympathy in their bereavement. The funeral took place on Tuesday

GLAISTER –In Wellesley on Thursday, October 11, 19, Lilian Morton, wife of William Glaister, M. D., aged 28.
A gloom of sorrow was cast over this village and section by the death of this estimable lady and the profound sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved husband and little daughter in their great loss. Deceased was the eldest daughter of the late Dr. Morton and she was born and lived all her life here, where she received her public school education, attending High School at Stratford and college in Hamilton. She was an accomplished pianist and possessed high abilities in painting and drawing, while her attractive personal qualities drew to her side a wide circle of warm friendships. Her marriage to Dr. Glaister occurred about five years ago. When pulmonary trouble set in, a little over one year ago, she went to California in the hope that the change of air would prove beneficial, but finding herself no better, she returned home last July, since which time she gradually sank. Until a few days before her death she was able to be about as usual, but on Tuesday evening she was taken ill with pneumonia under which she succumbed early on the following Thursday morning. In response to telegrams, her sisters Misses Nellie and Louise came from Toronto and were present at her bedside when she passed away. The funeral occurred on Saturday afternoon and was one of the largest ever held in this village, there being nearly one hundred rigs in the procession. The remains were laid away to rest in the English Church cemetery, just south of Crosshill, Rev. Mr. Armstrong assisted by Rev. Mr. Morton, uncle of the deceased lady, officiating. Among the relative present were her brother, Master Boyd Morton, Toronto; her uncles and aunts, Messrs. William and Samuel Rutherford and Misses Rutherford and Morton of Toronto, and others; besides friends from Stratford, Millbank and many other places. Wellesley Maple Leaf, October 25, 1900 |

A gloom of sorrow was cast over the village on Tuesday by the death of Mr. Valentine Glebe, son of Peter Glebe, Esq., which occurred shortly after one o’clock p. in., in his 20th year, from consumption. The young man had been able to walk around up to Monday evening and his sudden collapse was unexpected by his many friends.

The floral offerings by friends were numerous, a large pillow of natural flowers being a touching tribute from his schoolmates. The funeral occurs this (Thursday)afternoon.
