DIED
At Ramsay, on Friday, the 11 April, Walter, only son of Mr. Walter Gardiner aged 4 months.
Even in the bud the lovely flower,
was nipt and did decay;
The storm of life began to rage,
It quickly shrunk away.
But he's not lost, O, no! my friends
Yours treasury safely stored;
Where you need fear no future foe,
Forever with the Lord.
J.T.

?b?The Late Mrs Gardiner
?/b?We are called upon this week to chronicle the death of Mrs Walter Gardiner, of Ramsay, which took place on Saturday night of last week. About twenty-eight years ago a cancer appeared on her face, but for a long time it made very little progress. Of late years it began to spread more rapidly, and Mrs Gardiner went to a specialist in Rome, N.Y., for treatment, but at that time the disease had become so deeply rooted that nothing could be done to stay its ravages, and the end came as stated above. The deceased was a daughter of the late Thomas Bowes, of Cedar Hill, and was married to Mr Gardiner about forty-one years ago, the union being blessed by six children, one of whom died in infancy. The ones living are Thomas, at Hamburg, N.Y.; Walter, at Vernon, B.C.; William, on the homestead; Mrs Alex Pretty, Hopetown; and Mrs James McDougall, Almonte. The deceased was a respected member of the Presbyterian church, and was one who lived a life consistent with her profession of religion. The funeral took place on Monday to the eighth line cemetery, and was a very large one.
