In the family Bible...
Mary Ann Elizabeth Wilson (née Rae), died in May 1936, at Howgate Dumfries. She was a widow, and Mary and William had had seven children, two of whom died in childhood.
She was my great grandmother.
Her death was certified by Dr Sandison (who I remember!). The cause of death was carcinoma of the colon. All family accounts suggest that is was not an easy passing.
In the family Bible she wrote:
"I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course.
I have kept the faith."
In this clearing up business, I find it impossible to throw away a message sent down over seven decades......
