She was in her 84th year.The funeral was held at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Walter G. Bell, of lot 30, concession 2, South Dumfries, on Monday, July 5th, and would travel from there to Mountview Cemetery at Galt.

Charlotte Green Dryden died July 3rd, 1915, age 84. Born Scotland(?) Place of death Lot 30, Con. 2, S. Dumfries. Widow. Physician A. S. Lovett of Paris. Informant Walter Bell, Paris.

Paris will be Walter Bell's postal address. Most census information places Charlotte's birth in Ireland.

Paris Plains is the flat land on the Galt Moraine to the north of the town of Paris. Considering the distance, there is some possibility that the funeral cortege travelled to Galt from Paris by rail.
