Marlow fourteen months at the Nur- ® wa COLD WEATHER T After a life span of eighty sing Home joining in acti- [ | five and one half years Myrtle McGill Marlow died at Port Perry Community Memorial Hospital, on August 16, 1973. Born Feb- ruary 19, 1888 at Burton on the Cartwright side of the Manvers-Cartwright bound- ary,she was the only daugh- ter of George McGill and Eliza Heaslip McGill. A bro- ther Victor, died in infancy. She attended Lotus Public School, received music les- ons and was a willing helper on her parents' farm. On March 7, 1911, the marriage of Myrtle McGill and Nelson C. Marlow, was solemnized in the parson- age at Blackstock. To this union were born four child- ren. For thirty nine years, until their retirement, they farmed on the Nestleton area. In June, 1950 they sold their farm between the two Nestleton and moved to their new bungalow in South Nestleton ~~ which Mr. Marlow built. Following Mr. Marlow's death on February 14, 1956, Mrs. Marlow re- mained in their home, aided by kind neighbours and family until May 18, 1972. As the result of a fall, whe was hospitalized in Port Perry Community Memorial Hospital and on June 5, 1972 she entered the Community Nursing Home. Mrs. Marlow enjoyed her ties, making new friends and happy to receive many visits from former friends and family. During 'Nursing Home Week" this June, she assisted in pouring tea and helped with the guest book. When health permitted, Mrs. Marlow was a regular attendant at Nestleton United Church. She was a faithful members of Nestle- ton United Church Women and recently paid her mem- bership fees for 1973 and her birthday money. For many years she was treasurer of the organization and assisted in auditing the books. Her many friends will remember her quiet dignity, her ready smile and gentle laugh. This com- munity and township has lost a true friend and a good neighbour. Surviving to remember are sons Alvin, of Caesarea, Gilbert of Brooklin, daugh- ters Madeline (Mrs. James Ferrier) Perth, Irene (Mrs. Frank Symons) of Bowman- ville, nine grandchildren and seven great grand- children. The late Mrs. Marlow res- ted at the McDermott Pana- baker funeral Home, Port Perry. The funeral was held August 18 at 2:30 p.m. Reverend Harry Atkinson of Toronto, a former Nestleton resident and family friend, with Bill Dodds An operator from a northern Ontario water works, while attending the Basic Water Works Operation course in Toronto, mentioned a problem he was having. His particular munic- ipality was downstream of an Indian reserve and he had been experiencing quite a problem with skinned beaver carcasses becoming stuck in the intake. The general consensus of those attending the course was that stocking of the river with alligators would solve the problem. Spring -- 1972: The unnamed northern Ontario water works Basic Gas Chlorination Workshop. The problem of the beaver carcasses becoming stuck in the intake was revived. It sems that the alligators that were stocked in the river could not survive the cold northern Ontario waters. A Ministry of Natural Re- sources employee attending the course men- tioned that some of his colleagues had been successful in crossing beaver with alligator resulting in a fur-covered alligator that could survive in northern Ontario water. Spring -- 1973: The unnamed northern Ontario water works operator dropped in to our office to pick up some additional course manuals and mentioned that he had an even greater problem. It seems that skinned alligator carcasses are becoming stuck int he water works intake.
