From newspaper obituary - 1942:
Mrs John Cleghorn Died in Tweedside
Was One of Pioneers of South Tweedside--Was 90 Years of Age.
Harvey Station, Aug 28 -- The death yesterday morning of Mrs Margaret Ann Cleghorn, aged 90 years, at her home in South Tweedside removes one of the oldest residents of the community.
Mrs Cleghorn, who was the daughter of the late Thomas and Margaret (Tait) Piercy, was born at Coburn, NB, and lived there until her marriage to John Cleghorn, Oct 16, 1877, when she removed to South Tweedside. There they cleared a farm out of virgin forest, erected a home and reared a family of nine children, three of whom are living, Thomas of McAdam, Charles of Lake Road, and Elvin of South Tweedside.
Mrs Cleghorn was a life-long member of the Presbyterian Church. She was well known and highly regarded by a wide circle of friends.
Mr Cleghorn passed away two years ago at the age of 88 years, and since that time Mrs Cleghorn had been in failing health due to advancing age.
In addition to her sons she is survived by a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The funeral was held this afternoon. Following prayers at her home a service was held in Knox Presbyteriah Church at 3 o'clock. In the absence of the minister of the church, Rev. A. O. McLean, the service was conducted by Rev. J. F. MacKay of St. Paul's United Church, McAdam. A choir composed of Mrs Lorne Morrow, Miss Evelyn Martin, Andrew McCullough and G. Wesley Coburn sang "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" and "Abide With Me." Miss Florence Coburn was organist.
The pallbearers were Harold Cleghorn, Alton Cleghorn, Donald Thorburn and Colin Cleghorn. Interment was made in the cemetery at Manners-Sutton.
They had the following children:
41 i. George Thomas "Tommy" Cleghorn
42 ii. Robert Alexander Cleghorn
43 iii. Charles Cleghorn
44 iv. John "Wesley" Cleghorn
45 v. James William "Jim" Cleghorn
