DEATH of Mils. CAVE. -This week it becomes our sad duty to record the death of one who has for many years been known to all as a kind and affec- tionate neighbor and friend, in the person of Mrs. Cave, who passed peacefully away at the age of 80 years on Thursday of last week. Mrs. Cave was born in Antrim, Ireland, in 1819, where she lived until the age of twenty, when she married John Save. They resided there for three years, and then, with a small family, emi- grated to this country in the year 1842, and settled in the township of Fitzroy, Lower Canada. They lived there un- til 1847, when they came up here and settled on lot 2, concession 2, Usborne, and, amid pioneer hardships and many years of industrious toil, succeeded in accuanulating a comfortable share of this world's goods. They lived on the homestead until six years ago, when Mr. Cave died and she went to live with her son, William, and resided there until her death. The family consisted of thirteen children, nine of whom are left to mourn her demise. The children are as follows: Mrs. Fran- cis Adair, St. Marys; Mrs. Abram Adair, Sylvan; Mrs. Healy and Mrs. Sweet, Kansas; Wm. John and Alex- ander, Usborne; Francis, il'Ianitceba; and Thomas and Robert, Bay Oity, Michigan. Deceased was a much res- pected resident of this place, and be- loved by all who knew her. She was a good wife and kind mother and has. lived to see a large family grow up and take prominent places intim coin- mercial and social world. In religion Mrs. Cave was a consistent member of the Methodist church. To the bereav- ed relatives the sincerest sympathy is extended.
