• Notes

  Death of Mrs. Janet Rutherford Although an aged person and obviously failing, the death of Mrs. Rutherford was sudden at last. She was born in 1803, married in 1822 and with her husband and family, came to Canada from Roxboroughshire, Scotland, in 1829, the family settling at once on what is now the homestead on which Mr. John H. Rutherford resides in North Dumfries. Amidst all the trials and vicissitudes of a pioneer's life of those days, she reared a family of eight children, three sons and five daughters, five of whom, viz.: -Mr. Wm. Rutherford, of Burford, Mrs. Kingsboro, of South Dumfries, Mrs. John Scott, of Beverly, Mr. John H. Rutherford, of North Dumfries, and Mr. Thos. Rutherford, of Burford, survive him. Her husband died about twenty years ago, the deceased lady continuing to reside on the homestead until a few years ago, when she removed into Galt, where she has since continuously resided. From the establishment of a Presbyterian congregation in Galt, she was a constant member of the body, taking part in all the early labours which led to the formation of the strong congregations who now enjoy the privileges of worship in these modern days. She was a most kindly Christian woman, whose faith was no mere profession, but was carried with her into her every day life. She was in her 82d year when she died. Her funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon and was attended by a very large number of her old friends and acquaintances from the township and tow. Revds. J. K. Smith and J. A. R. Dickson conducted the services. The family of whom Mrs. Rutherford was a member, lived much above the average of life. From information given us we find that her grandfather lived to 72; her grandmother to 84; Mr. John Hall to 54; Miss Hall to 72; Mr. Thos. Hall to 69; Miss Mary Hall, still alive at 73; Miss Betsy Hall to 70; Mr. Wm. Hall, still living at 70; Nancy Hall, still alive at 68; and Mr. Robert Hall, still living at 64. With the deceased, the united ages of the twelve amount to 845 years, or an average for each of 70 years and 6 months - a most remarkable record.
