New York Times, 4 June 1905:
"Montreal, June 3 -- Miss Osla Clouston, daughter of E. S. Clouston, manager of the Bank of Montreal, died suddenly last night. The young woman was well known in London and New York. She had come back from a visit to England to be bridesmaid at a fashionable wedding here. Last night Lady Allan gave a dinner to the bridesmaids, and as Miss Clouston was preparing to leave her home she dropped dead of heart diease."
I post this because I had not heretofore seen her mentioned in any of the Peerages of the day, during the short period (1908-1912) when her father was a Baronet.
The Findagrave page says she died 2 June 1905, though one of the attached newspaper clippings gthey have labeled as 1904. There are also some photographs attached.
