• Notes

  Died, on Thursday afternoon, May 20th, 1882, at 1: 30 o'clock, Jane Grieve, relict of the late Jared Swan, aged 88 years and 11 months. The subject of this notice was a native of Selkirkshire, Scotland, and was born in the year 1793. She was united in marriage with Jared Swan in 1824. Together with her husband and two daughters she emigrated to Canada in 1832 and located on the property one mile south of Galt and known as the "Swan estate,", on which she continued to reside until the decease of her husband in 1877. The entire life of the aged couple was spent on this rustic homestead. Though quiet and uneventful their life was worthy, and into which nothing penetrated, which they could avoid, to mar its purity. In religious matters they were hearty sympathizers, and as long as they were able, attended services of the Free Church. Their life fully exemplified the true Christian ideal of standing firm and steadfast to the end. Since the death of her husband, Mrs. Swan has resided with her daughters Mrs. Andrew Turnbull, of Mill creek, and Mrs. Jas. Dryden, of West Dumfries. For two or three years back that most dreaded disease, cancer, was working its slow but most certain consequences, having a seat in her left side, and which caused her great sufferings in her ripe old age. For some months back the cancer had taken its deadly hold on her system, and thence she knew no rest. Despite her agonizing suffering she held out with a fortitude surprising, until at length nature asserted itself and ended her earthly career. The funeral, which took place on Saturday forenoon last, was well attended by sorrowing relatives and acquaintances, testifying their respect for the deceased, as one of Dumfries' first pioneers. Rev. J. K. Smith officiated at the funeral. The following pall-bearers laid the remains of their lamented grandmother in the grave, viz: - Messrs. Andrew Turnbull, Jared Turnbull, Thomas Turnbull, James Dryden, J. Wrigley, and P. Maclellan. The deceased has yet a sister living in Beverly at the advanced age of ninety-two years. - Com.
