The person memorialized is John Kilgour (1834-1914) donated by his daughter, Mrs. Charlotte K. Heyl.
In its three lancets are the Blessed Virgin Mary, Elizabeth and Ann.
Mary: Mother of Jesus, wife of Joseph. Other than in gospel accounts of her in connection with the birth of Jesus, there are only four recorded in the Bible during his later life. 1) The marriage at Cana. John 2. 2) Her attempt to speak to her son. Matt. 12:46, Mark 3:21 and 31 Luke 18:19. 3) The crucifixion. John 19:25,26. 4) Days following the Ascension. Acts 1:14.
Anne or Anna: St Luke 2:36-38. Anne was an elderly widow, prophetess ad dweller at the temple serving God with fastings and prayers. When infant Jesus was brought to the temple according to the law for firstborns, Anna gave thanks to the Lord and spoke about Jesus to all in attendance seeking redemption.
Sounding the same as Anne but spelled “Ann” is another woman possibly brought to mind by this window who is not mentioned in the Bible, but she is recorded in the third century Greek manuscript called the “Gospel of James” as the mother of the Virgin Mary. Her story places her in mystical events similar to some in the Bible considered sacred. Her holiness led to sainthood and subsequent wide recognition.
Elizabeth: Wife of Zacharias, mother of John the Baptist. In Luke 1:36 et seq. is the story of Mary’s visit with Elizabeth after they had received the Angel’s messages of their becoming the mothers of Jesus and John. Here is recorded the Magnificat.

Hannah: Mother of Samuel, wife of Elkanah. 1 Samuel 1:2. Hannah endured childless years and the scorn of Elkanah’s other wife. Prayer, her husband’s love and the Priest Eli’s encouragement led her to vow that if the Lord would give her a son, she would give him to the Lord. Following Samuel’s birth, she returned to Eli telling him her vow had been answered. Hannah’s song of rejoicing and praise for the Lord’s great works are included in Samuel 2.
