    Passed Away


    After many months of gradual decay, Mrs. Hugh Wallace, of "Dickie Settlement," widow of the late Hugh Wallace, died on Friday night last in her 77th year. The history of this family is so well known in this section that but few words are necessary now. Mrs. Wallace was a native of Ayrshire, Scotland, and came to York State in 1832, in company with her brother, the late John Gillespie. There she was married to her late husband and in 1834, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace and Mr. Gillespie came to this Township, the lands selected being those upon which the rest of their days were spent, their married life extending over a period of fifty years. Of their family there are left Mr. John Wallace, of Waterloo; Mr. James Wallace, residing on his farm close to the Homestead; Mr. Wm. Wallace, residing on the Homestead, as do also two daughters, Mrs. Wifller and Miss Wallace; Mrs. John Meidle, residing with her husband and family on a contiguous farm; and Mrs. Peter Hay, of Galt.

    Mrs. Wallace's funeral took place on Monday afternoon, the assemblage of relatives and friends being very large.
