Mrs Mary Jane Wilson, widow of the late James Wilson, died at her home on Cameron street, Almonte, on Wednesday, April 5. She was 78 years of age, and died after a short illness.

She spent her girlhood in Appleton, and on Nov 22, 1871, came as a bride to the home in which she died. Mr Wilson widely known in this district as a skilled mechanic, contractor and builder predeceased her in 1916. One daughter Flora at home, and one son, William A., of Regina, survive. The funeral took place on Friday, April 8, to the Auld Kirk Cemetery, Rev J.M. MacCrimmon, of Bethany United Church, of which she was a member, conducted the service. The pallbearers were Messrs R.

Fumerton of Smiths Falls, R. Fumerton of Appleton, R. Fumerton of Beckwith, and Hugh and John Metcalfe of Ramsay. The late Mrs Wilson was a woman of strong personality and scrupulous upright demeanor, but withal of quiet, homeloving disposition, who has left the impress of a sterling character not only upon those of her own household, but upon the whole circle of her acquaintances.
