My Family Tree

from PEI Ancestry:

Kensington today mourns the passing of one of its most highly respected citizens, Mr. J. Melbourne Laird, who passed suddenly away this morning about five o'clock from a heart attack at the age of 69 years.

Mr. Laird for many years owned one of the largest farms in Kelvin, later moving to Kensington where his wife, who was formerly Etta Walker, passed away. He later married Etta Jardine, who survives him.

Mr. Laird was a man of pleasing personality and endeared himself to everyone. For many years he was Mayor of Kensington, which position he filled faithfully and well, and his passing is deeply mourned by the large circle of friends and relatives.

Besides his sorrowing widow, he leaves one son, Harold, on the homestead in Kelvin; Hattie, Mrs. Robert McDonald, Kensington; two step-daughters, Mrs. Alex. Tullich, and Miss Myra, Swampscott, Mass., besides a number of grandchildren.
The funeral will take place Monday from the United Church, Kensington at 2 p.m. Rev. B. C. Salter will conduct the services. Interment People's Cemetery.
