    • Death of a Very Old Resident

      There passed quietly and serenely away on Monday morning last, at her residence on Rose street, Jane Milroy, widow of the late John Lockie, in her 90th year. Mrs. Lockie was a very early resident of North Dumfries, having settled about 1828, on the homestead on the West River road, on which her son Thomas now resides. Her husband died in the year 1843, and for many years there-after the widow and her family resided on the farm. Some years ago Mrs. Lockie and her eldest daughter moved into Galt. Of the family there is left Miss Locke, of Galt, Mr. Thos. Lockie, residing on the homestead, Mr. John Lockie, farmer, Sprague's Road, and Mrs. Thos. S. Rutherford, of Burford village. The deceased lady was marked for the probity and religious fervor of her life. Her funeral took place on Wednesday last and was very largely attended.
