  14. Comment: Edith Annie was buried in the same grave plot as Arthur Arundel Knight. There is a gap in the children's births so I think it likely (subject to finding her birth cert or baptism record) she is another child in this family.

COLIN McLEAN, who died in Stouffville, Ont., July 14, 1905, was a well-known, and enterprising business man in his line in Toronto, where he followed the tailor's trade. Mr McLean was born in Markham township, County York, in 1868, a son of Duncan McLean, a well-to-do farmer of that locality.
When but a child Colin McLean lost his mother, but his early training was along the lines of integrity and Christian manhood, and he grew to be a most highly esteemed citizen and Christian gentleman, leaving behind him the record of a life, although cut off in its prime, well worthy of emulation. Mr McLean married Miss Lillian Baylis, who was born in England, daughter of James and Mary W Baylis, who came to Toronto, where Mr Baylis has long been connected with the city waterworks department.
To Mr and Mrs Colin McLean was born one son, Gordon McLean, who died in June, 1905. Mr Colin McLean was a member of the Methodist Church, to the faith of which Mrs McLean also adheres. In political connection he was a Conservative, and fraternally he was identified with the Ancient Order of Foresters.2
