  • Notes 
    • MRS. WM. HACKETT.

      The death of one of Waterloo County's oldest citizens took place on Saturday, Oct. 19, 1918, in the person of Mrs. William Hackett of Linwood at the ripe old age of 87 years and 6 months. She was born in England and came to Canada with her parents when a young woman residing in Waterloo County ever since. The last few years she had made her home in the village of Linwood. Her husband predeceased her 18 years ago. The union was blessed with 10 children, 7 of whom survive, also 33 grandchildren and 23 great grand children. The late Mrs. Hackett was of a genial disposition, and had a host of friends who will extend their sympathy to the bereaved family. Burial took place at Linwood.

      Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Devitt and family have returned from Trout Creek where they they spent the past few months. They will reside on Albert St. in the house formerly occupied by Mr. David Hoffer who has moved to Elmira.
