In Memoriam
MRS. J. A. MATHIESON
The death occurred at her residence, 1 Grafton Street, Sunday morning of Mrs. J. A. Mathieson, wife of the Hon. J. A. Mathieson, former Chief Justice of the Province. The late Mrs. Mathieson had been in ill health for some months. She was 79 years of age.
Few women in the Province have had a more eventful career than Mrs. Mathieson and fewer still have had the privilege, as she did, of seeing and of being more or less directly concerned with the welding of Canada into a great and autonomous nation.
Her father, the late Hon. David Laird, had been appointed Governor of the Northwest Territories, and in 1876, Mary Alice Laird, then a child of ten, journeyed with him, her mother, and the other members of the family to North Battleford, Sask., which had been designated the seat of Government for the Territories. The trip from Winnipeg to Battleford was made by prairie schooner and entailed hardships which few of the younger generation of Island women have ever experienced.
On Sept. 15, 1896, she married Mr. J. A. Mathieson, at the time a rising young lawyer of Georgetown, destined to become Premier and Attorney-General, and later Chief Justice of the Province.
Five children were born of the union: Louise, who died at the early age of three; Helen, Mrs. Frank Chauvin, Montreal; Mrs. Dora Campbell, City; Avila, Mrs. T. B. Rogers, City; and Major D. L. Mathieson, K. C., also of Charlottetown.
Besides her husband and the four children above mentioned, Mrs. Mathieson is survived by one sister, Louise, wife of D. H. Laird, Winnipeg; and three brothers, Messrs. D. R. Laird, city, retired bank manager; A. Gordon Laird, professor at the University of Wisconsin, and William C. Laird, attorney, Winnipeg; also the following grandchildren, John and David Chauvin, Mary and Sidney Campbell, John A. Mathieson, Janet and Daryl Rogers.
