The Orillia Packet and Times, Thursday, December 6, 1934 edition, Archives of Ontario microfilm N039 Reel 71NP (Front page with a photo of the late Albert Kerr) FORMER ORILLIA ALDERMAN AND BUSINESS MAN DIES Albert Kerr Had Built Up Business Stretching From Toronto To Vancouver An Orillian who had made his mark in the business world, and who had made warm friendships wherever he went, passed over to the majority when Albert Kerr died in the private patient’s pavilion of the Toronto General Hospital on Monday. He had been ill for three months, and his death was not unexpected. Born 75 years ago in the Township of Otonabee, six miles from Peterborough, the second son of Samuel and Mary Kerr, pioneers of that part of Ontario, Albert Kerr first came to Orillia with the family in 1879. He spent a short time in Toronto, as an express messenger. Returning he took up farming at McPhee’s Switch, in south Orillia. Forty two years later he came back to town to enter the butcher business. Shrewd and industrious he rapidly built up a prosperous business, launching into the wholesale trade in hides and kindred products. His business expanded until it stretched across Canada, with branches in the chief centres between Toronto and Vancouver. Several brothers were associated with him in the business, which was known as Albert Kerr Hide Company Limited, and of which he was president. Shortly before the war, Mr. Kerr himself removed to Vancouver, to be nearer the Western end of the business. While in the city, he also engaged in the lumbering trade and became interested in mining in partnership with Mr. A.E. Munn, M.P., also a former Orillian. He made trips East two or three times a year, and always made a point of visiting Orillia. But, good business man as he was, Albert Kerr’s outstanding characteristic was his capacity for making and keeping friends. He had friends, warm friends, from one end of the country to the other. Akin to this was the family loyalty and affection which bound the Kerr family together in bands of steel. While a resident of Orillia, Mr. Kerr took an active interest in the life of the town. He served on the Town Council for eight terms, first entering that body in 1897, remaining during the critical period when the first power plant was under construction till 1902 and coming back again in 1906 and 1909. He was keenly interested in sport, particularly in lacrosse, and was a member of the executive of the Orillia Lacrosse Club and a firm financial supporter of the game. Mr. Kerr was a member of the old Methodist church while in Orillia and subsequently joined the United Church in Vancouver, taking an active interest in its work. He was also a member of Orillia Lodge, A.F. and A.M., Barrie Preceptory Knights Temple, and Rameses Temple, Mystic Shrine, Toronto. Mr. Kerr is survived by his wife who has been detained in Vancouver by illness while her husband was in the Toronto Hospital; also by five out of seven brothers, George, Frank, Fred and Sam Kerr of Toronto, and John Kerr of Orillia; by one of three sisters, Mrs. Robert Plunkett, Orillia. Mr. Kerr had no children. The funeral took place in Orillia yesterday afternoon. The service in St Paul’s church was conducted by the Rev. W.E. Baker. Speaking from the passage beginning "Blessed in the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly" and concluding "whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" Mr Baker paid a warm tribute to the deceased, on the strength of information which had been given him by friends. He was, he said, a worthy son of pioneer parents, was industrious, thrifty and large hearted, had a deep family affection and a wonderful capacity for making friends and keeping them; and a due regard and reverence for holy things. The floral tributes were unusually numerous and beautiful, filling the whole of the space in front of the pulpit. The pallbearers were six nephews: Messrs. Douglas Kerr, John Kerr, Albert Kerr, and Albert Plunkett, Toronto; and John Kerr jr. and Morley Plunkett, Orillia. The honorary pallbearers were Mr. John Sinclair, of Barrie; Mr. Aubrey Davis, of Newmarket; Dr. W.C. Gilchrist and Messrs. J.B. Tudhope, Angus Carss and J.C. Miller, of Orillia. Among the out-of-town friends who attended were the Hon. E.J. Davis and Mr. Andrew Davis, of Newmarket; Mr. J.S. McLean, President of Canada Packers; Mr. W.A. Amos, of Palmerston; Mr. George McNeillie, of Toronto and representatives of a number of wholesale leather firms. | Cameron, Mary (I11273)

After William died, Mary continued to live in their Neepawa home and her son John and daughter-in-law Frances lived there after 1940. Mary Jane's nephew, James Peden Connell, purchased the farm of William Thomson's father in Minto Township, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada in 1926. On June24, 2001, Wayne Thomson had the privilege of meeting descendants of Mary Jane; Jim and Audrey Connell who now own the Thomson farm.

|
| 2572 | Megan was an expert skateboarder and died from injuries from a skateboarding fall in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA. Buried in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Royal Oak Burial Park, Grove of Remembrance, Section L, Grave 1494. The Leader Post, Regina, Saskatchewan, Wednesday April 3, 2002, Page D1 Glendinning, Megan Elizabeth "Man is love, and loves what vanishes, what more is there to say" Megan was born May 8, 1982, a few minutes before Mother's Day and left us March 27 while enjoying her passion for freestyle snowboarding at Lake Tahoe, Nevada. She joins her grandparents Alice and J.A. (Glen) Glendinning, a special aunt, Grace Stephens, and cousin Tom Perkins. Blessed by her life and her love are Megan's parents Peter and Janis, brother Jamie Rathwell, and aunt and uncle Wendy and Paul, and her cousin Michael and Heather. Megan graduated from the French immersion program at Campbell Collegiate in Regina in 2000 and spent the next year living in Canmore and working at Sunshine, Alberta, and snowboarding. She moved to Vancouver and was in her second semester at Simon Fraser University, working part time at Mt. Seymour ski lodge, and spending all her available time snowboarding. Megan had many friends whom she considered "family", and she had found a soul mate, Jeff Lidkea and was "really happy". Throughout life, Megan pursued everything she considered worthwhile with intensity and enthusiasm, whether it was gymnastics or schoolwork, horseback riding or public speaking. She skipped classes with equal vigour. She taught us to constantly and perhaps the most important lesson was the importance of friendships relative to "things". She cared for others with the same intensity. As parents we encouraged her to challenge the system, and she did, and we worried. We urged Megan to "seize the day" and she did, with an energy and determination that frightened us at times. We were inclined to tell her to slow down, to take her time. She never did slow down and wait, we are glad she didn't. We told her she could become whoever she wanted to be, and our daughter became a passionate snowboarder, a wonderful friend, and an enchanting young woman. We are proud of our daughter Megan. If a life is measured not by its duration but by its donation, the measure of Megan's life was at the top of the mark. She contributed fully, with an enthusiasm that knew no hesitation. We value and cherish her donation. She fulfilled our lives. She taught us so very much. We mourn the contribution that would have been. We grieve the loss of not knowing who she would have become in later life. Our grief is for ourselves and for her friends, deprived of so many wondrous and unique experiences with Megan. We truly celebrate her life in ours. We miss her deeply. "Death is not putting out the light but extinguishing the lamp, because the dawn has come" Friends in Regina have arranged a celebration of Megan's life for 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 3, at the Wascana Centre bandstand. The more snow the better. Friends at Mount Seymour will hold a memorial for her on Saturday, April 6 on the mountainside at 6 p.m. and her snowboard will be signed by her friends and hung in the lodge. A private ceremony for Megan, family and friends will be held at a time and on a mountain to be determined and announced later. Donations in her memory may be made to: In Memory of Megan Glendinning, Plant for Health Program, c/o Hospitals of Regina Foundation, Box 1697, Regina, SK., S4P 3Z6 which will identify trees on the grounds of the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre, in her name and acknowledge the donor on wall plaques within the building. | Glendinning, Megan Elizabeth (I13127)

Mildred Thomson passed away March 29th, 2007 at Prairie View Health Centre in Mankota, Saskatchewan just 12 days short of her 90th birthday. Born to Alfred and Sarah Munford April 10, 1917, in Palmerston, Ontario, Mildred grew up on the homestead in the McCord (Milly) district. She attended school at Varsity School and McCord High School.

| 2584 | Miss Jessie Kol was born in Holland, Europe, February 3, 1876; died at the U. B. parsonage on Middleton Circuit, Perrinton, Michigan, December 5, 1916, after a long and very painful illness. Her parents moved to merica, and settled on a farm a few miles east of Cadillac, in Missaukee county, Michigan, in 1883; she resided with them until she became a school teacher. She was united in marriage to Henry N. Bacon, July 5, 1898, and was a very devoted wife. Her parents belonged to the Holland-Reformed church, and she was raised in that faith; but while teaching in 1897, she had the opportunity of attending some meetings conducted by Rev. Mercy McQuay, a United Brethren minister, and was led to see her need of a Christian experience; she sought and found what her heart had longed for. She united with the church at Turnerville, Lake City Mission, soon after her conversion. She lived a most exemplary Christian life. Always modest and refined, above the average in intelligence, she wielded an influence for good among all who associated with her, and was a noble helpmate to her husband, who has been actively engaged in the ministry since 1907. When North Michigan conference in 1905, saw fit to send us to Lake City charge, the mission covered considerable territory, and wife and I were obliged to live more or less with the people; Sister Bacon and her husband made us feel that their home was also our home, and our experience was the experience of all others who were associated with them in like manner. The funeral was held at the parsonage where she died, the writer officiating, assisted by Rev. Detweiler, of Matherton circuit, and Rev. A. B. Bowman of Alma circuit. The bearers were U. B. ministers. The body was taken to her old home at Lucus, Michigan for burial. Old neighbors were gathered at the station and kindly hands bore the body to its last resting place beside her own loved ones. A husband, a mother and a sister are left to mourn, but their loss is her gain. S. J. POTTER. | Kol, Jessie (I5168)

| 2598 | My father dabbled with water-color paints most of his life. However, with a family of six to feed, his artistic abilities were placed on a back burner while he earned a living. When my father turned 65 he began a new hobby: oil painting. He bid on painting lessons at a local fund-raising auction and won. He learned fast and created many beautiful paintings. Each person in our family had our favorites or wanted copies of them. When my father passed away in 2000, he left many of his paintings to family and friends. However, before each person received his or her painting, a copy-negative was made for each painting. Since I am the historian for my family I now have an archive of 4x 6 photograph prints of my father's paintings, including a history of each painting and whom it belongs to now. I also have two original paintings and one print on linen. Most of the paintings are posted on my brother's web site at http://mypage.uniserve.ca/~sclarke/painting.htm. | Clark, John Francis (I16413)
