      The Late Mrs. Turnbull


      We take the following regarding this lady, whose death at the great age of 92 years we noticed last week, from the South Dumfries correspondence of the Paris Transcript: - "Another old pioneer passed away in the death, at Lennel Cottage, near this village, on the 29th Oct., of Christina Scott, aged 92 years and 5 months, relict of the late Robert Turnbull, Esq. Mr. Turnbull and wife and family came to Canada in 1832 from Roxburghshire, Scotland, and remained on the homestead in South Dumfries till his death, which occurred a number of years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Turnbull had a family of four sons and three daughters. The sons are all settled in good circumstances. The eldest daughter was the first wife of the late Hon. D. Christie. The second daughter, who is dead, was never married. The youngest daughter is the wife of William Drynan, Esq., of South Dumfries."
