      Elizabeth Gimber, beloved wife of Mr. John Brox, died at her home near Floradale, on September 2nd. The cause of death was cancer of the stomach, of which she had suffered for a considerable time.

      Mrs. Brox was born in Woolwich Tp. on December 8th, 1851 In 1874 she was united in marriage to the bereaved husband, and they have lived ever since on their farm near Floradale.

      Their union was blessed with nine children, five of whom predeceased her. The four remaining ones are:- Jacob at Spruce Grove, Alta.; Mrs. Sylvester Bowman, Floradale; Emanuel and William at home.

      The funeral, which was largely attended, was held on Sunday morning from her late residence to Elmira, Evangelical Church for services and thence to Union cemetery for interment.
