Page 167  How long it continued under this control,
it is now impossible to say; but we may conclude that in the gradual
decay of the corporations, the mortcloth management would pass into
the hands of a mixed and public committee acting for a general body
of proprietors. We find, in point of fact, that a mortcloth society
was instituted in Dunfermline on 15th October, 1830, and continued
in existence up till the opening of the cemetery in 1863. Its first
officers were William Black, preses : James Campbell, treasurer ;
Peter M'Naughton, secretary; and Andrew Murray, officer. The
guildry had also a mortcloth reserved to its own members; but this,
too, wore out of fashion, and at last was no less worn out of all decent
fabric. Its last officer-who was also tyler to the freemasons-was
Robert Drysdale, who died in August, 1887.
