Mrs, Robt. Giles
A deep sense of loss is felt in the surrounding country and at distant points, where she was known, on the passing of Amelia Willis, wife of the late Robt. Giles, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.D. Chaplin, at Glen Tay. on Thursday, April 28. Mrs. Giles had been in good health during the winter up until a few days before her death. It was not known that she was seriously ill and death was unexpected it being due to heart failure. Deceased was the daughter of the late Mr. & Mrs. Keaton Willis, both natives of Ireland. Mrs. Giles was born near Carleton Place in November, 1895. Her husband predeceased her and in 1917 her eldest son, William, of Ottawa passed away. She leaves to mourn her loss four children, one daughter and three sons, Mrs. A. D. Chaplin, Glen Tay; George, of Carleton Place; Elijah, of Ramsay; and Enoch, of Lanark. The funeral was held from the residence of her daughter at ten o'clock on Saturday, April 30. The service was conducted by the Rev. Dr. H.H. Bedford Jones, and thence to St. George's cemetery, Clayton, where Rev. Mr. Bruce conducted the service, and interment was made. The pallbearers were Messrs.
