MARY WIDDIS At the remarkable age of 101 years Mrs. Mary Widdis, relict of the late Thomas Widdis of this town, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Scott of Brantford on Tuesday, the 28th ult. Deceased had resided in town until about 15 years ago, when she went to live with her daughter at Brantford. The late Mrs. Widdis was born in Caledon, being a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Henry, pioneer settlers. She spent most of her life in this district. Mrs. Widdis was of a kindly nature and those who knew her held her in the highest esteem. She was a life-long member of the Anglican church. A family of two sons and five daughters are left to mourn her death -- Mrs. Schott and Thos. A. Widdis, Brantford; Mrs. Ben Price and Mrs. Jas. Hammond of Toronto; Mrs. Henry Allen and Mrs. Geo. Dermott of Glencross, and Mr. Adam Widdis of this town. She is also survived by 29 grandchildren and no less than 46 grandchildren (sic). The remains were brought to Orangeville for burial, the funeral taking place from the home of her son, Adam, East Broadway, to the Forest Lawn cemetery, at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 30. In the absence of Rev. J. W. McDonald, Rev. W. H. Hartley, of Shelburne, conducted the services at the house and grave. The pallbearers were Messrs. Norman, Ed. and Lorne Widdis and Bert, Fred and Elgin Hammond. The floral tributes included a wreath from Wm. Widdis and family; Brantford; a wreath from Mrs. Richards and family, and grandchildren, a wreath from St. Jude's Church Ladies Guild, Brantford, and sprays from Mrs. Cummings, Mrs. William Harkness, Mr. and Mrs. Nolan and Mr. and Mrs. Lemon, all of Brantford. The 1881 Census of Mono Township (below) shows Mary being the same age as Thomas. If she was born in 1824, as her gravestone states, she would have been 57 in 1881 and past her child-bearing years when the younger children were born.
