Description : Ida Jane Banting Watson was the eldest of five daughters of Charles and Jane McDermott Banting, and was born in Tecumseth Township, on a farm now owned by her son. Later, her father bought the old Willoughby farm on the townline, between Tecumseth and West Gwillimbury. When here she attended the then Methodist Church at Newton Robinson, where she added much to the service by her gift of song. She married John Watson and went to live in the Scotch Settlement, West Gwillimbury Township, where she brought up a family of five, namely, Carol and Marion who predeceased her; Jean of Toronto; Isabel, now Mrs. Norman Coutts, Cookstown; and Charles, who now owns the farm granted to her great-grandfather, James Banting, by the Crown. Leaving the Settlement they moved to a smaller farm near Bond Head. While there she attended the United Church at Bond Head and was helpful in the Woman's Missionary Society. Mrs. Watson was a devoted wife and loving mother, being well known in the district because of her sympathy with and great interest in the affairs of her friends. She had been ill for many months, and passed away in St. Joseph's Hospital, Toronto, on March 10. The funeral was to the cemetery in connection with the Presbyterian Church, Scotch Settlement, West Gwillimbury Township.
