The deceased had been in failing health for the past six months, owing to a gradual declension of her physical powers, and the end came when her strength had gone.

After his death Mrs Buchanan returned to Cedar Hill and has since lived with her brother, Mr Wm Y. Wood. four children, two sons and two daughters, were born to Mr and Mrs Buchanan ? William, who lives at Cedar Hill, and John, who is also at Cedar Hill at present, and Mary and Aggie, who live with their aunt, Mrs Edwards, at Ottawa. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, and was largely attended by friends and relatives who assembled to do honour to the dead. The pallbearers were the two sons of the deceased, Messrs John and William Buchanan, and four of her nephews, Messrs Taylor and Edwards, of Ottawa, and Jas and John Wood. Mrs Buchanan, who was seventy years of age, was the eldest of her father's family of six daughters and one son, and her death is the first break among the children. The others are Mrs Jas Barker, Ramsay; Mrs Taylor, Ottawa; Miss Janet with her brother; William Y., of Cedar Hill; Mrs Edward and Miss Jane, Ottawa. The deceased was a woman of quiet disposition, possessed of a sterling character and ready helpfulness, which won for her love and respect.
