      Funeral Card
      ______________

      Seeking rest after a life of industry, many of those who come amongst us from the neighboring Townships are not permitted to long enjoy it. Saturday last, Mrs. Wm. Struthers, who, with her husband came to Galt to enjoy the rest which herself and husband had so well earned, was called away. For some time she had been in indifferent health, so that her death was not unexpected. She was a native of Carluke, Lanarkshire, Scotland, and came to this country about 1845, being in her 68th year at the time of her death. Her funeral was very largely attended by old friends and acquaintances from the Township of Dumfries.
