- Passing Is Mourned Of Henry Gillies Aged 82 Years
ARNPRIOR, July 1. - (Special)
Tribute was paid here this afternoon to the memory of one widely known throughout the Ottawa Valley, Henry Gililes, aged 82 years. In the early days of Lanark County, four brothers came from Lanark, in Scotland, and their names became inscribed indelibly on Canada's industrial life. They were George, James, David and John Gillies, names associated with one of Canada's large industrial enterprises.
Henry Gillies was the son of George and he, too lumbered, but not to as large an extent as other relatives of the name. He came from Lanark to the Ottawa Valley about three-quarters of a century ago and more than 50 years ago he was married to Mary MacBride, sister of the late Hon Morrison M. MacBride.
Mr. Gillies was 82 year of age, a citizen of many splendid qualities, a staunch member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, and well known and highly respected by a wide circle.
Surviving are his widow; one son, Arch Gillies, of Dollard, Sask.; and two daughters, Mrs. Alfred Cotie, of Arnprior, and Mrs. Garfield Barrie, of McNab Township, all of whom were here for the funeral.
Mr. Gillies had been ill only a few days and died in an Ottawa hospital. Rev. L. H. Fowler, of Renfrew, conducted the services at the home and the graveside.
