Mrs Andrew Dunlop
Mrs Andrew Dunlop had been ailing for some time, but a few weeks ago she was taken seriously ill of stomach trouble, and gradually sank, lovingly and tenderly cared for by her daughters, until Wednesday of this week, when she passed quietly away, thus securing a blessed release from suffering from which no relief could be secured. The late Mrs Dunlop, whose name was Annie Lees, was a daughter of the late David Lees of Paisley, Scotland, and was married to Mr Andrew Dunlop while yet living in the land of her birth. About forty years ago they came to Canada, and spent a couple of years at Harriston before coming to Almonte where the home has since been. Mr Dunlop died about twenty-four years ago, Jean about fifteen years ago, and Walter when three years old. Of the family still living David is at Bridgeview, Mass, Maggie is in town, Annie (Mrs Wemyss Ballantyne) is at Sherbrooke, Que, and Tena at Almonte. The deceased was a woman of quiet and retiring disposition. Her heart was in her home, and to make and keep it "home" was the aim of her life. She delighted in flowers, and spent hours in her garden, amid the bloom and beauty secured by her careful tending. The late Mrs Dunlop was a member of the Presbyterian church and while able to do so was a regular attendant at St Andrew's church and her life was lived in strict correspondence with the profession she made. The family circle was one bound together by the cords of love, and the calling away of the mother had caused real and deep sorrow, and much sympathy is felt for those who are left. The funeral take place on Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock to the eighth line cemetery.
