The Clayburn community is distress- |
ed this week over the death of Mrs.
James Kerr, who away on
Monday, a victim of pneumonia. De-
ceased had been nursing her son-in-law
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs, Golos at
Kilgard, when she contracted the ‘flu.
She returned to her home on Monday,
and died that day.

Mrs. Kerr’s sad demise severs another
link with the past, Born in Kilmar-
nock, Scotland, 49 years ago, she came
to Clayburn in 1909, three years later
than her husband. Surviving are her
husband, three sons, Tom, Alex. and
George at home, and two daughters,
Mrs. M. Golos, Kilgard, and Mrs, Mut-
ton, Los Angeles. Other relatives are
her mother, three brothers and four
sisters in Scotland, and one brother in
Vancouver.

The late Mrs, Kerr was a woman of
kindly, hospitable nature, holding the
respect and regard of all who knew her.
The funeral was very largely attended,
and conducted today from Clayburn
United Church to St. Nicholas cemetery
An abundance of beautiful wreaths was
mute testimony of the esteem in which
she was held.

Mr. Ball was called to Victoria this
week to inspect samples and specifica- |
tions of the bricks required for the new
wing of the Empress Hotel, which the
Clayburn company will supply if the
material can be manufactured here.

‘An order for one million brick is en-
tailed.

Sunday visitors at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. Gilmour were Mr. and Mrs
J. Robins of Edmonton, Alta., and Mr.
and Mrs. T. Curwen of Chililwack.
