the Barrie Examiner Mar 28, 1914
Mrs. James Patton
The death occurred on Friday, March 20th, of Margaret Robertson, relict of
the late James Patton, in her 89th year. Mrs. Patton was born in Scotland
and came to Toronto in 1856, later coming to New Lowell, where she only
stayed for a year. She then settled in Vespra where she lived until three
years ago when she came to Barrie to reside with her daughter, Mrs. W. G.
Beaton, Peel Street, at whose home she died. One son, W. J. Patton of
Collingwood, also survives. The funeral took place on Monday to Craighurst
cemetery.
