weeks, from Bright's disease. All that medical skill and loving hands could do was done, but
God who doeth all things well, released her of her suffering. Deceased had not been in good
health for over a year, but showed remarkable patience and cheer and was always able to
attend to her household duties. On Monday afternoon she was laid to rest in St. George's
Cemetery. The funeral was conducted at the house and grave by Rev. G. A. Brenet and was
very largely attended. Special hymns, favorites of the deceased, were sung, and with the
stately and comforting service of the church she loved, the last token of respect was paid to
her who, was a friend to all. She leaves to mourn her loss besides her husband, one son,
Thomas, and one daughter Agnes (Mrs. D. Currie) both of Union Hall. One son, William,
