Mabel Moir who was born on September 16, 1889 in Innisfil Township, second concession, her parents were Jesse and Clara Rainey. She had four brothers, John Albert, Edgar, Ogle and James and a twin sister Maude. Only Mabel survives. She attended Bethesda school. After leaving the farm she purchased a home on Selby Street, Cookstown where she resided with her nephew Clarence Copeland until his demise and moved to her present home on Wellington Street in 1970. About five years ago she was fitted with a pacemaker and had to give up many of her activities in the United Church, the Maple Leaf Club and Fair Board. She still enjoys a game of euchre, her flowers and most of all a chat with her peers. She was very proud of having received the honour. At her side was her niece Mrs. Rogers who is taking care of Mabel whenever she is needed.
