The following is an excerpt from a Wilkin Family record obtained from Elizabeth Rodier, Calgary, AB., Oct. 1998, e-mail:
"...The Wilkins were not the only ones who married relatives and confused the family records. Margaret Morrison Wilkin had a sister Jane who married a cousin Matthew Morrison and lived in Arthur township. She died 1917. Daughters Deliah, Ruby and Rebecca married and lived in the London area. Mary Ann had a stroke about age 12, walked with a cane and lived at home. Drucilla, Mrs. Fife, married late in life, no children. Robert (Bob) also lived at home until married later in life, had 3 or 4 children. Lindsay and his wife Luissia were married in 1894, had 4 or 5 children. Some of them went to the US."
1917 Death Register: Born in Ireland; Died March 5, 1917 aged 87 years, 4 months; widower; Father: William Morrison; Mother: Mary Ann Shaw; Buried: Harriston Cemetery; Informant: Robert Morrison, RR3 Palmerston.
The following is a biographical sketch of Jane Morrison, daughter of William Morrison and Mary Ann Shaw and mother of Eliza Jane Morrison, Mrs. John Officer Lyons. This sketch, which originally appeared as an obituary in the Harriston Review, has been taken from The Confederate (Mount Forest), Thursday, March 22, 1917.
The death of Mrs. Jane Morrison removed from us one of Minto's old ladies, a woman beloved by all who knew her. She was born in Tubercurry, Ireland, eighty-eight years ago and as a bride, came to Canada with her husband, Matthew Morrison, who died about ten years ago. Together they took up land in Arthur Township where the family was born. Those early days meant hardship. Mrs. Morrison had to care for the home claim while her husband went to older parts, usually near to Hamilton, to help harvest crop. She had to carry her basket of produce on foot to Mount Forest, a distance of twelve miles. The training of her family and the church were not forgotten. When weather permitted she walked several miles to church at Bethel and carried her babe. She was a member of the Anglican Church. Some twenty-two years ago the family moved to Lot 100, Con. D, Minto, on the gravel, which place the son, Robert, now owns, and at whose home the mother died. Mrs. Morrison was one who never complained in the weariness of old age, for the wit, so characteristic of her early life kept her bright and helped make it cheery for all near her. Grippe which developed into pneumonia was the cause of her death. She died on Monday, March 5th, and was laid to rest in Harriston Cemetery on March 7th. The service was conducted by her former minister, Rev. Canon Scudamore, of Fergus, and Rev. H. H. Wilkinson. The family left to mourn her loss are Mary and Robert at home; Mrs. Edward Shaw, Dresden, Ont.; Mrs. Edward Whitmarsh, Wallaceburg, Ont.; Mrs. Albert Fyfe, Harriston; Lindsay, of Arthur Tp.; James, of Mt. Forest. -- Harriston Review.
Note:The names of Mrs. John O. Lyons and one other sister, Mrs Samuel E. Shaw, were not included with the family members left to mourn the loss of their mother in the foregoing obituary.
