Her death followed a stroke which she suffered a fortnight previously. The late Mrs. Carson possessed many virtues and those who had the good fortune to know her, as the writer did from his boyhood days, can never forget her sterling qualities. Deceased, who had been a highly respected citizen of Ottawa for the last thirty-one years, was born and spent her girlhood on lot 5, Centre Road, Mono. Her maiden name was Ellen Little and she was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Little, early settlers of Mono. After her marriage to Gilbert Carson fifty-eight years ago, she came to Orangeville to live and became well and favorably known to the majority of our citizens of that time. Her husband died forty-seven years ago this fall. His widow continued to reside in Orangeville until 1892, when (she moved to Ottawa where) her sons were already living. Mrs. Carson, who had reached the ripe age of 76 years, was an active woman endowed with more than the average amount of energy. She took a great interest in the welfare of those about her and was never happier than when helping her neighbors of those who had been visited by sorrow or misfortune. She was held in the highest esteem here and in Ottawa and many were the expressions of sorrow called forth by the news of her demise. She was a member and a regular attendant of Chalmers' Presbyterian Church, Ottawa. She is survived by three sons, Hugh and George Carson, of the Hugh Carson Co., Limited, Ottawa, and W. J. Carson, a painter and decorator in the capital city. Hugh and George Carson were members of the Dufferin lacrosse club in 1885 and later played with the Capitals of Ottawa. Mr. William Little, West Broadway, is a brother and Mrs. M. Wilkins, Zina St., Mrs. Wm. Jackson of Shelburne, and Mrs. Jas. Carson of Meaford, are the surviving sisters. On Sunday night at nine o'clock a service was held at the home of her son, Mr. Hugh Carson, 286 McLaren St., Ottawa, by Rev. J. W. Woodside, pastor of Chalmers' Church. The remains were afterwards taken to the Union Station and conveyed to Toronto and thence to Orangeville for burial. The funeral, which was largely attended, was held from the home of her nephew, Mr. Geo. Wilkins, Zina St., to the Forest Lawn cemetery, at 2:30 o'clock on Monday afternoon. Services were conducted at the house and grave by Rev. J. H. Turnbull, pastor of High Park Presbyterian Church, Toronto, and formerly pastor of Chalmers Church, Ottawa, assisted by Rev. F. W. Mahaffy, pastor of St Andrew's church here. The remains were borne to their last resting place by the three sons and Messrs. John Carson of Cape Rich, Hugh Hughston of Ottawa and John Little of Shelburne. The floral tributes were impressive in their number and beauty and indicated very plainly the high regard in which the departed woman had been held by those who knew her intimately in life. Friends present from outside points included the three sons from Ottawa, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Carson, Mr. John Carson and son, Milton, of Meaford; Mrs. Switzer, Mrs. G. L. Aiken of Toronto; R. J. Woods, M.P. for Dufferin, Mrs. Woods and their son, Milton; John Best, ex-M.P. for Dufferin; T. K. Slack, M.L.A. for Dufferin; Mrs. Etta Peart, Mr. and Mrs. Cruikshank and Miss Edith Carson, Toronto; Mr. H. E. Hughston, Ottawa; Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Nelson Bellerby and Mrs. Jos.
