Mrs R.M. Yuill
One of this town's best known and most highly esteemed residents, in the person of Agnes Elizabeth Yuill, beloved wife of Mr Robert M. Yuill, McLaren avenue, died in Rosamond Memorial hospital on Sunday following a long period of failing health Developing a rheumatic condition in June, Mrs Yuill was confined to bed for a couple of weeks but recovered sufficiently to be up. Recently she suffered from flu and on Saturday afternoon she was taken to the hospital, but the constitution being so greatly weaken she could not respond to treatment and in the early hours of Sunday morning she passed very quietly and peacefully away. A daughter of the late Robert Yuill and his wife Elizabeth Boyd, she was born in Bruce county, near Teeswater. She was married at the home of her parents to Mr Yuill, and after their marriage they came to Ramsay, where they lived on the Yuill homestead on the sixth line until 18 years ago, when they came to Carleton Place.

A lady, broad-minded in her views and of very pleasant personality. Mrs Yuill won the respect and admiration of her many friends throughout the community, and her passing occasioned widespread regret. Though she had not enjoyed good health for some time she did not complain, but rather looked on the brighter side of life and to the time when she would again be among those whom she loved. Of late her chief interest was in her home and she was one who had done her part nobly and well in all that pertained to the welfare to those with whom she was connected by ties of love. In addition to her husband, she is survived by one brother, Mr Jos Yuill, of Brussells, Ont; and two sisters, Miss Margaret Yuill, of Carleton Place, and Mrs Bert Petrie, of the United States. The funeral, which was attended, took place from the Fleming Brothers funeral home, Lake avenue, to the Auld Kirk cemetery. Rev E.C. Kelloway, minister of Zion church, officiated in the absence of her minister, Rev D.C. Munro, minister of Memorial Park United church. The pallbearers were Messrs Norman Paul, Frank Paul, Beatty Hamilton, Andrew Stewart, Dr W. F. Baird and Kenneth Dack. Among those from outside points attending the funeral were Mr and Mrs Jos Yuill, from Brussels; Mr and Mrs McBurnie, of Wingham; Mr and Mrs Robert McKenzie, of Belgrave; Mr and Mrs Hamilton Stewart, Mr and Mrs Herb Stewart, Mrs James Scott, all of Balderson; Mr Stwart Gilfour, of Toronto, and many from Beckwith, Ramsay, Almonte, Pakenham and surrounding district. Many beautiful floral tributes were received, a symbol of love and devotion of Mrs Yuill's many friends for the warmth and loyalty of her friendship and her many kindly acts.
