Belonged to the great aunt of donor, Emma Mary Fallis (nee Bourne) who lived from 1868 to 1959, passing away at age 91. These instruments and medications may date to 1896 (when Mary's sister Alice died of heart disease) or 1921 (when her sister Annie died of heart disease). Mary's daughter was the wife of Dr. C. L. Stratchan of London (dentist) and Mary spent much of her later years in London. |
