A The late Eleanor Miller, for such was her maiden name, was born -in Goderich, daughter of George Miller and Elizabeth Talmage. When quite young her family moved to Kinloss where her parents were among the first, settlers in this well known Scotch settlement. They felled the logs to build their home and clear­ ed the bush, where deer, . bear; and all wild life abounded. They cleared a farm which proved a prosperous and a happy home for the six daugh­ ters and three sons, of these hardy pioneers.- The late Mrs. Perdue often related interesting storied of the Fenian Raid during her childhood in Goderich, where her father and his neighbors went put armed with pitch­ forks to resist the invader and pro­ tect their homes. The late 'Mrs. BeF<lCie married John Harrower Stewart and took up residence in Lucknow, where her husband, with his father and bro­ thers, carried on an, extensive lum­ ber business known throughout Can­ ada, and Which is being) carried on yet by members of the family. Mrs. Perdue used to relate with vivid descriptions the panic and horror • the great Chicago fire caused through­ out the country,' when at two o’clock on a bright, sunny afternoon the darkness descended suddenly, ashes fell like rain, friends and Ibved ones bid one another) goodbye ahd fell on their knees, Jk’ expectation of hear­ ing the last trumpet. Mr. Stewart predeceased her in 1888. 'Seven years later she married Mr. C.* Perdue, of Clinton, Ont., who predeceased her in 1923. Since that time she has made her home with her son, Mr. James Stewart, of Thessalon* ... \ Her death breaks the link of four generations, her own seyen children; tWehty-4'Vte grandchildren and three great grandchildren* Two of the three great grandchildren are the son and daughter pf Mr* and Mrs. j) S. Donaldson, of Royal Oakr Mich.r and Gavin Donaldson, the baby son of Mr. and Mrs. W* Keith Donaldson of Ottawa* ' . Of “ bright and happy disposition she was a most aptomistic woman and for one of her age was very active and energetic. Work was her life and. service was the, theme' of her years. It can truly be said, that in the traininng. of her family, and in the church she always did het duty nobly. Ripened" in years and fully prepared for another state of existance she passed to the Great Beyond to enjoy the reward of a life well spent, on earth. * ■ I know not wheii I go, nor where From this familiar scene ’ But He is here, and He is there ’ And all, the way between;. ’And wheh I pass from all I know, To that d’fh vast unknown u Though late I. stay, Or soon I go 1 shall not go alone - i PURPLE GROVE Mr. and Mrs. George Colwell and children visited at Mr. Charles Col­ lins oil Sunday.
