The deceased was the mother of nine children, seven sons and two daughters, all of whom with the exception of one daughter, survive her. She was noted for her kindly and hospitable disposition and will be greatly missed by her friends and neighbors. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, and was attended by a large concourse of friends . Rev. J . A . R. Dickson B. D. pastor of Central Presbyterian Church of which deceased was a member, assisted by Rev. Dr. Torrance, her former pastor at Guelph, officiated.
