In Ramsay, March 28th, Jane Wallace, wife of Mr Walter Black, aged 35 years.

Sudden Death -- One of those events which sadden a whole neighbourhood occurred on Saturday morning last, on the seventh line of Ramsay, at the residence of Mr Walter Black, by which he lost a faithful and devoted wife, and five children, a patient and loving mother. Mrs Black has not been strong for some time, as the result of a cold which has apparently settled on her lungs, and was to all appearances gradually bringing her down to the grave. On Saturday morning last the deceased rose and dressed herself, to all appearances no worse than usual, but a feeling of suffocation led her to lie down on the bed, and in a few moments she had passed away. The deceased was well known and respected She was the third daughter of Mr James Wallace, of this town. The funeral took place on Tuesday, and was one of the largest ever seen in Ramsay, proving the general sympathy with the bereaved husband, as well as the respect for the family. Rev Messrs Bennet and McRitchie officiated.
