They seemed to have reconciled after becau se the McKays and the Blacks seem to have been on friendly terms in the ye ars that followed. In fact the William and Margaret established their fa rm on Grant's Ridge very close to the McKay farm. Margaret's obituary is found in the June 25, 1931 issue of the Renfrew Mer cury. "One of the oldest residents of Ross Township was removed by death last Fr iday of Margaret McKay wife of the late William Black, at her home at Gran ts Ridge at the age of 81 years.
