Bock - Sister Rachel Bock (nee Rosenberger) was born June 16, 1828, and died at Dundee, Ont., Dec. 29, 1908, aged 80 y. 6 m. 13 d. Her husband, the late Levi Bock, preceded her to the sprit world over 28 years ago. She was the mother of twelve children, of whom seven, three sons and four daughters, survive. Although she was partly helpless during the last five or six years of her life, owing to partial paralysis of her lower limbs, yet she seemed to be contented and happy in her trust in the Lord, and she fell gently asleep, to awake, as we hope, in His likeness. The interment took place in the Blenheim Mennonite Cemetery, on which occasion Pre. Peifer preached in German from John 17: 24, and Bro. N. Stauffer in English from Psa. 16: 11, to a well filled house

LIFE'S BATTLE O'ER.

Mrs. Brighton's Sudden Death

Mrs. John Brighton, an aged resident of seventy-five years, was found dead in bed in her home on corner Gaukel and Charles street this morning at 8.30 o'clock, by her daughter, Mrs. Simon Erb. The old lady occupied a portion of the same house as Mr. and Mrs. Erb and Sunday evening spent an hour or two with them, apparently in good health. Bidding them good night she went to her own apartments and closed down her shutters for the last time.

Mrs. Erb noted this morning that there were no signs of her mother being up and became alarmed. She found it necessary to break into the house and there found Mrs. Brighton calmly sleeping the sleep that knows no waking.

Mrs. Brighton was born in Suffolk, England and with her husband came to Canada when both were quite young. Mr. Brighton was for a number of years teamster for the Simpson Company and had the misfortune to be killed by a horse he was attending some twenty-one years ago.

Besides Mrs. Erb, Mrs. Brighton leaves two other daughters, Mrs. John Poure and Mrs. J. P. Starnsman and one son in Berlin and four sons and four daughters in various other places. She was a very estimable lady and her death will be regretted though resulting from natural causes.
