Florence Mary (Mernie) Minto Clay
August 24, 1899 — March 19, 1968
Florence Mary (Mernie) Minto Clay—born August 24, 1899—died March 19, 1968. She was the legal secretary for Judge Alan B. MacFarlane while he was a partner at Clay, MacFarlane, Ellis & Popham. Mary spent many years volunteering as a Sunday school teacher at St Andrews Church (where her father was the reverend).
We called her Mernie because when my Dad was young, he couldn’t pronounce Mary, so the name stuck. She was our favourite of all our great aunts because she was warm and loving.
