MARY ANN BLAKE
[Welland Tribune, 23 April 1897]
Mrs. Blake, relict of the late John Blake and mother of Mrs. D.E. Macfarland, died at the home of her daughter here on Friday last, at the advanced age of 84 years. The remains were taken to old Niagara on Monday. Deceased’s husband was a well-known merchant of Niagara-on-the-lake back in the thirties, being one of the firm of Blake & Rogers, wholesale dealers. Mrs. Blake was born in Niagara in 1812, and had resided there all her life prior to coming to her daughter’s about four years ago. Death was largely the result of old age. The only surviving members of the family are John A. Blake of Niagara and Mrs. D.E. Macfarland of this place. Interment took place on Tuesday, the remains being buried beside the body of her brother, John Rogers. The following gentlemen acted as bearers at Port Colborne: Edward Armstrong, T.J. O’Neal, T.R. Secord, A.K. Scholfield, John Scolfield and David Fortier.
