Young, town); Margaret (Mrs Andrew Forgie, Toronto); Jessie (Mrs Robt Cameron, town); William, Ottawa; Matthew, Cache Bay; James, Jersey City, N.Y., and Mary, at home,, are still living.

Some years ago the W.F.M.S. of St John's church, Almonte, with which she was identified, made her a life member of the society in recognition of the interest she had always taken in the mission work of the church. The funeral took place this (Thursday) afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, and was largely attended.
