      _______________________

      Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Morton       - One by one the old residents are passing away "to the bourne from whence no traveler ere returns." This week it is our sad duty to chronicle the death on Sunday, Oct. 15, of another old and most highly esteemed resident in the person of Mrs. Elizabeth Morton, Elliott Street, wife of the late William Morton, at the age of 77 years. The deceased, who had been in declining health for some time, was born near Kilmarnock, Sorn district, Ayrshire, Scotland. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Mitchell. She came to Canada about 55 years ago, settling in North Dumfries, where, about half a century since, she married. Her husband predeceased her about 21 years. She had been a long time member of Knox church and was a most consistent member. Thoroughly domestic in her habits, she was greatly beloved by a very wide circle of friends and acquaintances. A family of ten children blesses the union, eight of whom are living. They are Robert and James in North Dumfries, Margaret and Mary in Toronto, and Jane, Jessie, Katie, and Christina at home. The funeral on Tuesday afternoon to the Ayr cemetery was very largely attended, the services at the house being conducted by decease's esteemed pastor, Rev. John Thomson, who was assisted by Revs S. O. Nixon and S. Card. The pall-bearers were old and respected friends of the family, comprising Messrs. Wm. Edgar, North Dumfries, Wm. Richmond, South Dumfries, John Currie, Ayr, J.K. Rutherford, North Dumfries, Geo. McCartney, North Dumfries, Jacob Young, Ayr.
