A Very Sad Death
An occurrence of unusual sadness took place last week, when Mrs. Walter Y. Wood of Cedar Hill became affected in her mind, the result of over-much anxiety regarding the outcome of the war and brooding over religious matters, and had to be taken to Brockville for special treatment, but notwithstanding all the loving care and attention that could be given she passed away on Tuesday evening. Mr. Wood left his home on Tuesday to go to see her, but her soul had taken its flight before he reached her bedside. The remains were brought home by him on Wednesday morning, and the funeral will take place on Friday afternoon at two o'clock from the residence of her husband to the Pakenham Presbyterian cemetery. The late Mrs Wood was born at Clay Bank, and was Margaret Aikin, daughter of Mr. Robert Aikin. She was 36 years of age, and had been married about fourteen years. Besides her husband six children, the youngest only ten months old, are left to mourn the irreparable loss that has fallen upon the home of which she was so recently the life and joy; and the deepest sympathy is extended to them by friends at every point. One sister, Mrs. Archie Needham, lives near Arnprior, and her mother and five brothers are living in the Western States.

Margaret married Walter J. Wood in 1904. Walter (son of William Young Wood and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Smith) was born on 6 Oct 1878 in Ontario, Canada; died on 21 May 1920 in Cedar Hill, Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Pakenham Union Cemetery, Pakenham, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
