    ____________________

    Elmira, April 22 - One of the oldest residents of the county passed away on Sunday, at Elmira, Ont., in the person of Mrs. Agnes Taylor, who had reached the advanced age of 96 years and 6 months, having been born at Tower Neot, Arbroath, Farfarshire, Scotland, on September 26, 1810.

    She came to Canada in 1836 with her husband, the late James Taylor, and settled in Quebec City. About two years later she moved with her husband and family to Paisley Block, near Guelph, where they took up farming. Upon their retirement from the farm, she took up her residence in Elmira, where she had since resided. Deceased was active all through life, and her memory remained clear and she would often relate incidents that took place early in the nineteenth century, she having lived under five sovereigns, George III, and IV, William IV, Queen Victoria and King Edward. Her husband saw active service at the Mackenzie rebellion in 37.

    She is survived by eight children. They are Mrs. John Smith, Egremont, Ont.; Mrs. Samuel Uttley, Doon, Ont.; William at Selkirk, Man.; John, at Cartwright, Man.; James, at Yorkton, N.W.T.; Mrs. John Christian, Elmira, Ont.; David, in the Northwest; and Mrs. Henry Hayden, Listowel, Ont. Besides these there are 36 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren. The funeral will take place on Wednesday, April 24th, from her late residence on Mill Street to the Elmira Cemetery.
