Notes:

Obituary - We regret today to announce the death of one of the oldest and most respected residents of the Township of Beverly, Mrs. Warnock, relict of the late John Warnock, who passed away on Wednesday evening in the 87th year of her age. It is impossible at the time of writing to do more than merely mention the death of this lady - one whose naure has been a "household work" in both Beverly and Galt for the past fifty years, and whose death will be universally regretted.

The Late Mrs. John Warnock

In announcing the death last week of Mrs. John Warnock, we had not time to give more than a brief notice of her long and useful life. Coming to this country from Scotland in 1832 with her husband and young family, they arrived in the at that time little village of Galt in 1833, where her husband had charge of the Dumfries Mils for many years. There are but very few left now of the early pioneers, but those few will remember too vividly the many trials that had to be undergone which are incident to a new country like Canada. During the epidemic of Asiatic Cholera, which was terribly fatal in Galt in 1834, Mrs. Warnock gave evidence of great courage and devotion to the sick and dying and many a family was comforted at that time by her more than unselfish ministration. In 1842 the family removed to Beverly, where ever since she has resided on Meadowhead farm and where the afflicted at all times for miles round could look forward to finding a friend who was able and willing to afford help in their hour of trouble. Her life was a long and active one until within a few hours of her death. She complained on the afternoon of Tuesday of feeling unwell and during the night was restless. The next day the absent members of her family were sent for and at 5 p.m. they wished her good-bye, believing that she was better, but an hour later her life had quietly ebbed away without a struggle.
