      Death of Mrs. Hugh McCulloch

      After years of patient suffering, this respected lady entered upon her rest on Friday evening last. Ever since her return in the spring from Los Angeles, California \endash where she had spent the winter in the hope of benefitting her health \endash Mrs. McCulloch has been gradually failing, and notwithstanding the loving care of a devoted husband and family, it became only too evident of late that the end was drawing nigh. The disease under which she suffered was in the first place bronchitis, ultimately terminating in consumption. Mrs. McCulloch had been for over thirty years a resident of Galt, and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of a large circle of friends. Her husband and family \endash one daughter and two sons \endash have the sympathy of their many friends in their sore bereavement.

      Mrs. McCulloch's funeral took place on Monday afternoon last, the remains being interred in Galt cemetery. It was largely attended by citizens generally, while the employees of the Dumfries Foundry walked in a body to the grave.
