Deceased, who had been living here for a number of years, had, by her genial disposition, her pleasant and winsome ways, made many friends who sincerely regret to learn of her passing away while yet in the prime of life. There are left to mourn the death of a loving wife and mother, her husband, 3 daughters and 2 sons, namely, Evelyn (Mrs. A. Holm) of Kitchener; Violet, of Waterloo; Roxie, Willard and Harvey at home, also her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Lederman, of Baden. Four brothers Charles of New Hamburg, William of Conestogo, Harry and Alex, of Baden, and two sisters, Mrs. Amos Leach, of Walkerton, and Mrs. Robert Knarr, of Conestogo, also survive. One daughter, Ruby, died last summer and one son also died some years ago. The funeral took place last Tuesday afternoon from her late home to the Methodist Church, where services was held, after which burial took place at the M. B. C. Cemetery here. The bereaved family will have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in their affliction.

    New Dundee

    Obituary. -About the 6th inst., Mr. John Schwartz, of this place, was taking a steam engine to a farmer's place, where he intended to chop grain. While he attempted to cross a field he had to cross a snow bank and while driving through the bank the machine fell upon Mr. Schwartz, hitting him above the knee. The injured man was kept pinned to the ground for some time before it was possible to release him; when got out from under the machine it was found that the bone in his thigh was broken. He was taken home and the leg put in position by Dr. Ratz. It seemed as though the patient was doing well, until on Friday evening last, the 21st inst., when all at once he felt as though he fainted, and in less than 30 minutes he was a corpse, the end having been entirely un-expected. The funeral took place on Monday, the 24th inst., when the Rev. Messrs. Gruetzner and Eby preached to a very large concourse. He leaves a widow, two boys and one girl to mourn his untimely death. He was an industrious man, good husband and kind father, and of a peaceful disposition. This is another lesson that shows how uncertain life is, and how necessary it is to make preparations for that solemn occasion.

    SUICIDE AT WINTERBOURNE

    Mrs. James Pirie Takes Her Life With A Razor

    A general gloom has been cast over the community in and around the village of Winterbourne, by one of the most sorrowful occurrences that ever happened in the neighborhood. About 4 p.m. on Saturday, Mrs. James Pirie committed suicide, by cutting her throat with a razor in the root cellar of their own barn. The deceased had undergone an operation some time ago at the Guelph Hospital and her condition was such as to necessitate another operation being performed in the immediate future. This had such a defecting effect upon the mind of Mrs. Pirie, as to render her despondent, she preferring to end her existence in the manner she did, to suffering another operation. The deceased lady was 54 years of age and has long been a highly respected member of the Presbyterian Church. The bereaved husband and family have the most sincere sympathy of the community. The funeral took place at 10 a.m., Monday.
