Hensall: Mrs. Alex.- Gray, of the Mill Road, died at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Samuel Smillie, this village on Sunday, at the advanced ' age of 82 years. She came to visit her daughter some three weeks ago. A few days after her arrival she was tak- en ill, and although all that medical skill arid good nursing could do, was done, she grew gradually weaker until death resulted. Mrs. Gray was born , in the parish of West Colder, near Edinburg, in 1820. Her maiden name was Agnes Elder. In the year 1814 sho was married td Alex. Gray and, ten. years of their wedded life was spent in the Old Land. They then, 'with their small family emigrated to the wilds of Huron and settled on the Mill Road, Tuckersmith, where they experienced all the hardships of pioneer life. The energy and industry which charnoter- ized the family resulted in a fine farm, and, comfortable' home. In 1871 the heaviest loss that can overtake a lov- ing heart occurred NV 13 ell the partner of her joys and sorrows was taken fro her and she was left with ten children. She did not lose heart, but proved her- , self a wise manager, kept the family together and struggled on till compe- tence was theirs. She was a woman of striking individuality," thoughtful and with the courage of her'convictions in whose company one could not long be without noticing her superior quali- ties. Of the ten children nine survive, Andrew, a young inan of most prom- ising gifts having died some ten years ago. SO8 crop. --4”,----- Kingston, July 29.—Lightning on Hensath The many friends of mr.
