?b?Mrs Robert Cochrane?/b?
The death occurred very suddenly late on Thursday evening of Mrs Robert Cochrane of Almonte a lady who belonged to a well known Lanark family, who herself was known personally to very many people. Mrs Cochrane who was 72 years of age, was around as usual around all day Thursday, and called on friends in the afternoon, She and her husband spent the early of the evening together, their daughter, Miss Lily Cochrane having gone to Carleton Place with the members of the Young Peoples Society of the Presbyterian Church. Abut 9 o'clock Mrs Cochrane retired, and a little later Mrs Cochrane went upstairs. She was coughing a good deal as the result of a cold, and she said to her husband. "I'm dying." Medical assistance was secured but Mrs Cochrane passed away within half and hour of an affection of the lungs. The late Mrs Cochrane was a native of the township of Lanark her home being near Rosetta. She was the daughter of Robert Peacock who came from Glasgow, Scotland, and settled there. He was an elder in Rosetta Congregational Church, and died about sixteen years ago. Mrs Cochrane's maiden name was Janet, but was called Jessie as is common in Scotch families. She was married in 1876 to Mr Robert Cochrane of Almonte, Rev William McKenzie of St John's Presbyterian Church performing the ceremony. All her life after that was spent in Almonte. She was prominent in church work and made very many friends who mourn her departure. Rev J.D. McCrae on Sunday paid a touching tribute to her work and influence for good in the community. Mrs Cochrane had four children. One of them Olive died when she was eleven years old. The others are Katie in Oregon, Nettie, (Mrs John Henry) who lives near Spencerville, and Lily Cochrane at home. Her husband survives her. The funeral took place on Saturday to the Presbyterian Cemetery on the 8th line Ramsay, Rev Mr McCrae conducting the service. There was a very large attendance of mourners. The pall bearers were: Messrs Andrew and Peter Cochrane, brothers-in-law, George Peacock of Lanark, a cousin, William Aitken, Angus Sutherland and John Neilson.
