  • Notes 
    • CRESSMAN.-On the 6th of October, near Berlin, Ontario, of convulsions caused by teething, David Elden, infant son of Noah and Katie Cressman, aged 1 Y., 1 M., 14 D. Buried on the 8th. The sweet little voice is hushed, the bright little eyes are closed and the dear little form is still, in death, but the soul has gone unto God who gave it, there to await the coming of the dear ones that have been left to battle a while longer. May God comfort the bereaved parents
