  • Notes 
    • Gone to Rest

      Last Thursday afternoon, the body of the late Mr. Wm. Ellis was lowered into the grave at Zion cemetery. Many relatives and friends attended the funeral of this old and highly respected resident. Revs. Baugh and Mathers conducted the services in a very befitting manner, Mr. Ellis, who was a native of the North of Ireland, emigrated from the land of his birth while young, and finally settled within half-a-mile of Kossuth. By industry and economy he gathered together a fair share of this world's possessions, and has left his family in very favourable circumstances. He was at all times a loyal adherent of Britain, and a zealous supporter of everything truly Canadian. A short time ago Mr. Ellis fell and hurt one of his legs. The accident had the effect of retarding the work of life's machinery, and the subject of this brief note sank slowly but surely towards the end of his probation. At the ripe old age of eighty-five the head of the family has been taken away, leaving Mrs. Ellis and his children Thomas and James to mourn his departure.
