Notes:

MR. AND MRS. GEORGE TURNBULL were a loving couple, being all in all to each other. They were beautiful to see in their tender, loving way, keeping alive their early affection to the very end. Arm in arm they always walked in the old Scotch fashion, in no vain show. Their hearts were one. They were most worthy people. They could be counted on in their attendance at church, which was every Sabbath, at both services. They were faithfully in their place at the weekly prayer-meeting, too. They enjoyed the fellowship of God's people, and were attentive and intelligent worshippers in the sanctuary. They were fine examples of the religious life of the former days. Bright, cheerful, con tented, happy as the day was long. When Mr. Turnbull was called away after a lengthy and trying sickness, it was a terrible blow to Mrs. Turnbull, to which she could hardly be reconciled. But time wrought what reason and faith, blinded and stunned, could not. Some years after she was called to join her husband where there is no parting for ever. Our memory of them in their godly simplicity and thorough sincerity is very sweet.

DEATH OF ANOTHER OLD RESIDENT

The oldest residents of North Dumfries and of Galt will be pained to hear of the death of Isabella Dalgleish, relict of the late George Turnbull, which took place at 1 o'clock on Monday. The deceased was a sister of the late James Dalgleish, whose death and also that of his wife's occurred so close together a little over a year ago. Mrs. Turnbull had been in feeble health for a number of years, but was until a short time ago able to be around and her death though expected was a sore trial for the family. She was born in Ettrick, Selkirkshire, Scotland, in 1809 and came to Canada in the year 1833, accompanied by her brother Thomas. They took up land at Cedar Creek and were followed the next year by their father, mother and brother, James. The father and mother died suddenly, the same year they came out and were buried at the Cedar Creek Cemetery. The brothers and sister continued on the farm until the year 1838, when the deceased was married by Rev. James Strang of Galt to George Turnbull, a school teacher in Blenheim Township. They resided in that section until 1846, when they moved to Galt, In 1862. Mr. Turnbull died and was buried in the old High Park Cemetery. Mrs. Turnbull since then has been living with her children, that were single. At the time of her death, she was in her 84th year and leaves four sons and a daughter, to mourn her, John, George and Mary at home and William and Robert in Michigan. The funeral took place on Wednesday, to Mount View Cemetery and was very largely attended.
