Wallaceburg News - Thursday July 15, 1915, Page 4 A very large number of sorrowing friends and relatives that attended the funeral services of the late Mr. and Mrs. Chester B. McDougall at their home on the east side on Wednesday of last week. It was only nine months ago that they entered their pretty home looking forward to a happy life together. They died together and were placed side by side. A large turnout of the Knights of Pythias, of whom twelve were pallbearers, marched in the funeral cortege, from the house to the grave with the remains of their late beloved brother knight, Mr. McDougall, and to the electric depot with the remains of Mrs. McDougall, where they were taken on the car to Chatham, and then conveyed to her old home in Napanee, accompanied by her bereaved parents and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Sills and Miss Nellie Sills. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. Saunders assisted by Rev. J. C. Reid.

The late C. B. McDougall was born on the McDougall homestead, now owned by Wm. Burgess, on the north branch of the river Sydenham. He was the eldest son of Malcolm and Frances (nee Grosse) McDougall, his mother dying about 11 years ago. He leaves, besides his father, two brothers, Claude R. (Dick) of Chicago, Ernest of town, and five sisters, Mrs. Chas. E. Nightingale, Mrs. Chester McGregor, Mrs. Chas. E. Ayres, Mrs. H. A. Stonehouse, and Miss Ida at home. His first wife was Miss Emil McLean-Whitebread, who died about six years ago, to whom was born one daughter, Miss Fay, who makes her home with her grandmother, Mrs. (Capt.) Whitebread of Chatham. His late wife was Miss Otta Sills of Napanee, a former school teacher of this place, whom he married on Sept. 30 last year. For the past four years the late Mr. McDougall has been a partner in the firm Stonehouse, McDougall, Moore Co. Ltd. Previous to that he conducted a gents' furnishings business on the corner of Duncan and James Streets. He spent a number of years in Lorain, Ohio, and was employed with S. D. Crothers and the late D. Dobie for a few years.

Deceased was a prominent member of the K. of P. holding an office in the Ontario Grand Domain, and none will be more missed in the lodge here than he.
