On Sunday Mrs. James Leery was called away to answer the roll call and pity nature's debt. De- ceased had been ailing for some time. The kind ministrations of lovinghends and the best medical skill that could be procured was lavished upon her, hut Providence willed it otherwise and thus a noble life has been cut short. During her illness never .was she heard to complain of her lot, but rather was cheerful and resigned to the will of her Redeemer, who was ever her guide and stay. Toward the end of life she man- ifested a desire to depart and be with Christ which is far better. She had no Lear and waited death as a. welcome visitor. Of her it may be truly said her end was peace. She had attained the ageof 69 years and hers was a life of usefulness and kindness and her friends, for she numbered them as many, as well as those of her family, will feel her death very keenly. We deeply sympathize with the sorrowing ones. -Not alone in this township, but all over the country and elsewhere will it be learned with deep regret, • of the death of one of Huron's pioneers, in the person of Mr. Murdock McKay, who passed away at the reSidence of .
