    Crosshill - It is our sad duty to record the death of Mrs. William Leighton, which occurred on Tuesday morning of last week. Deceased had been ailing for some time but her death came unexpectedly. The funeral service was conducted at the house on Thursday by Rev. Mr. Haig. The remains were followed to the cemetery by a large number of friends. Among the beautiful floral offerings was a pillow from her son in Toronto and a sheaf from Mr. Leighton's sisters in Toronto. A husband and a little son and daughter are left to mourn their loss. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved ones.
