  • Notes 
    • Rapidly Following Deaths

      It is but a little more than a week ago that we were called upon to chronicle the death of Mr. Alexander Cranston, of this town, and today the painful duty devolves upon us of saying that, rapidly following him, came first, on Friday last, the death of his aged mother, in her 90th year, and on Saturday the death of his sister, Mrs. John Veitch, aged 66 years. The death of the aged lady, Mrs. Cranston, was not unexpected, as for some time she had been failing; but that of Mrs. Veitch was quite sudden. She had been ailing for a few days with a chest trouble to which she was somewhat subject, but not so seriously as to cause uneasiness amongst her relatives. On Friday, however, she became worse and from that time rapidly sank until her death on Saturday morning. This lady was the widow of the late John Veitch, being the eldest of her family. Of her own children there are living Mrs. John Cant, Mrs. Thos. McDougall, Mrs. John Blackwood, Miss Agnes Veitch, Mr. Robert Veitch, Mr. James Veitch, (the latter having been compelled by illness to come home for a short time,) and Mr. Alexander Veitch, of Nevada. The deaths of two of her sons, - William, in Galt, and John, in Nevada, - will be fresh in the minds of many of their old school fellows. Both had grown to manhood and both, although wide travelers, had always looked upon this as their home, coming now and again to renew the friendships of their youth.

      Mrs. Cranston was buried on Saturday by the side of her husband in the old cemetery at Cedar Creek. Of this lady's descendant's there are 48 great0grandchildren. \endash The funeral of Mrs. Veitch took place on Monday, her remains being interred in Galt cemetery.
