• Notes

  Died, In Galt, on Saturday evening, Aug. 7th, at 8 0'clock, Mary Gilchrist, Beloved Wife of Mr. Wm. Struthers, In the 68th year of her age. Funeral On Monday, the 9th inst., at 4 o'clock p.m., from her late residence, Queen St., to Galt Cemetery. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend. Galt, Aug. 7th, 1886. Funeral Card ______________ Seeking rest after a life of industry, many of those who come amongst us from the neighboring Townships are not permitted to long enjoy it. Saturday last, Mrs. Wm. Struthers, who, with her husband came to Galt to enjoy the rest which herself and husband had so well earned, was called away. For some time she had been in indifferent health, so that her death was not unexpected. She was a native of Carluke, Lanarkshire, Scotland, and came to this country about 1845, being in her 68th year at the time of her death. Her funeral was very largely attended by old friends and acquaintances from the Township of Dumfries. Galt Reporter Aug 13 1886 pg 1
