OBITUARY FOR IDA ALEXANDER
Paisley Advocate August, 1948
Well known and highly regarded in the community where she spent the greater part of her life, Mrs. Fred Watson died suddenly and without warning on August 24th, in her 55th year. Residing with her husband on thier farm, Lot 3, Con A, Elderslie Twp., she had been her usual excellent health when she retired on Monday evening.

The former Ida May Alexander, a daughter of Mrs. Minnie Elphick Alexander of Walkerton, and the late Geo. Alexander, was born in Hepworth, Ont., but came with her parents to Eden Grove when only an infant. She grew up in the district, and in July 1915, was married to Fred Watson and they took up farming at Ellengowan. A year later they moved to the Canadian West settling at Davidson Sask., where they remained for about 20 years, returning in 1936 to take up residence on Con A of Elderslie.

"WRITER HAS SPECIAL MEMORIES OF A FRIEND"
by Elwood Pinkerton
On Monday I was up to the Kent Milroy Funeral Home, in Paisley, to pay personal tribute to a very special person - Catherine 'Kit' Watson, who passed away at Bruce Lea Haven, March 28th in her 98th year. She was the widow of the late Marshall Watson of the Eden Grove community.
Surviving are her sons Jack and his wife Florence of Paisley and Bert and his wife Elva of Guelph. In addition there are two grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Her pastor, Rev. Bill McKaig conducted a fitting funeral service and tribute pointing out Kit was almost in reach of the century milepost! She is the last member of the Lamb family, pioneers of the area.
Predeceasing her were; sisters, Susan, Margaret and Elizabeth (her twin) and brothers; Dave, Bill and Jack. In his address Rev. McKaig suggested to the large gathering the problems of rearing twin daughters almost 100 years ago!
'Kit' was an active member of the United Church in Eden Grove and I can recall attending a garden party on the church grounds and sitting beside 'Kit'. She had made a super Angel Cake and made a Daffodil (sponge) Cake to use up the surplus egg yolks. They were A-1.
It was a delight to visit with the grandchildren and their family. The large crowd attending on Monday, at the funeral home, was a worthy tribute to a very special lady from the church and the community. The floral arrangements were colorful and a delight to the eye. Many memorial contributions to the United Church, at Pinkerton were made. This community extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved members of the family.
