The late Mrs. Fumerton was born on October 18, 1841, and was the eldest of the family of the late Mr. Thomas Cavers and his wife Margaret Lockhart, who lived on the 12th. concession of Beckwith township four miles from Morphy's Falls, known now as Carleton Place. When school age came she attended the little old log school house, half-way between Ashton and Morphy's Falls, situated on the 11th line of Beckwith.

Mrs. Fumerton was a staunch Liberal and at the age of 94 years was the oldest voter in this part of Lanark county, when she cat her ballot at an Ashton polling booth in the dominion election last fall. A loyal subject of the King, she could recall what great excitement there was in Almonte the day that King Edward VII, as the Prince of Wales, drove by stage coach from Arnprior to Almonte, as there was no connecting rail link between.

One of the early pioneers in this section, Mrs. Fumerton could relate many incidents pertaining to Beckwith township. She would tell how, as a young woman of 30 years, her husband of only ten years died, and with six children to care for, she scanned the horizon of time and the almost overwhelming elements about her, with unfaltering courage, high hope and deep faith, resolved to win through for the sake of her family. Hardship was her lot, and many hard days she spent following the cradle in the harvest fields, binding the grain into sheaves. the too log fences were to be built and to be maintained in repair, wood was to be cut to keep her family warm throughout the winter and in the spring and seed for another crop was to be sown.

Besides her son, Councillor Robert Fumerton of Beckwith, she is survived by two sisters, Miss Tena Cavers, Carleton Place, and Mrs. Margaret Lester of Ottawa; also three brothers, Peter Cavers, of Detroit, Edward Cavers of Pilot Mound, Manitoba, and James Cavers of Goward, Ontario.
The funeral will take place from the residence of her son, Robert Fumerton on Friday afternoon at 2:30 to St. Fillian's cemetery. Service will be conducted at the house at 2 o'clock, Rev. Andrew McLachlan of Almonte, will be in charge of the service.

James (son of John Fumerton and Mary Jane Frew) was born in Aug 1830 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 11 Apr 1871; was buried in United Cemeteries, Beckwith Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
