DEATH OF MRS. ETITERFNOTO.N-,-One after another our oldest settlers are departing from among us leaving only pleasant memories and the example of true and honest lives for the guidance and emulation of the young. This week it is our sad duty to record the death of a loving mother, kind neigh- bor and valued friend in the person of Harriet Ann Copping, beloved wife of Mr. S. J. Etherington, who died on Thursday last, at the age of 67 years, 5 months and 28 days. 'The blow is in- deed a sad one but when the loss is un- expected the feelings of regret is very mach intensified, she having died very suddenly. Ihe deceased had not been feeling well for several days previous to her demise but on the day the sad summons came she was enjoying her usual good health and was attending, as usual, to her domestic and out -door farm duties. She was milking a cow and while thus engaged fell over and without a struggle passed .peacefully away. The deceased came to Usborne with her husband in the year 1854 from Toronto, and settled on Lot 27, Concession 5, where she resided up to the time of her death. The funeral took place to the Exeter cemetery Sunday and the high respect entertained for her by the community was manifested in a marked degree, the -funeral court- ege being one of the largest ever seen in the township. She was beloved by all who knew her and her removal will be a loss to the community as well as to the family. Besides a sorrowing husband she leaves a grown-up family of seven sons and three daughters -- James and George, of Usborne; Ed- ward, of Marion City, Mich.; Herbert, of Toronto; Mrs. Shaddock, of Detriot; Mrs. Etherington, of Brown City, Mich.; and 1Virs.
