Date and place of birth and death from death record and obituary. Orangeville Sun, March 5, 1931, page 3 - Gavin J. Lemon One of the few remaining links between the present day and the pioneer life of the township of Caledon was sundered last week through the death of Mr. Gavin Lemon sr., who passed away at his late residence, lot 16, 3rd line, east, on Saturday, February 28th, at the ripe age of 88 years. Deceased was always a hale, vigorous man and retained possession of his physical and mental faculties in an unusual degree almost to the last. He was a lifelong resident of Caledon, being a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Lemon, who were among the first settlers in the northeast corner of the township not far from Mono Mills. He spent his lifetime in that section of the township and in his earlier years was widely known as one of the successful cattlemen of the district, shipping extensively to outside points at a time when this practice was only in its infancy. He took a keen and intelligent interest in public and religious affairs and was usually able to acquit himself with credit in any discussion of current topics. In his early days he was an active Orangeman and was a member of L.O.L. No. 260, which was afterwards absorbed by Mono Mills L.O.L. No. 192. One of his cherished possessions was a badge, which he received from this lodge about 60 years ago. He was an adherent of the United church and a Liberal in politics. He is survived by his aged wife, formerly Rachel Speers, also a member of an early Caledon family, to whom he was wedded 55 years ago, and two sons, G. J. Lemon, of Rock Glen, Sask., and H. A. Lemon, of Caledon. Another son, Dr. Ernest Lemon, of Sault St. Marie, who had a distinguished war record, died about three years ago. Of his own family, only one sister, Mrs. Henry, Strathcona, Man., survives. The funeral was held to the Forest Lawn Cemetery, Orangeville, ON Monday, Rev. R.K. Burnside conducting the services. The pallbearers were Messrs. Geo. Woolner, Geo. Giles, Wm. Baker, John Speers, A. C. Speers and James Speers.
