DEATH—Our little burgh has been
saddened, especially the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Thos. Fotheringham, the an-
gel of death having entered their home
ani removed from the family circle
one of its number, in the person of
their second daughter, Katie, whose
death occurred on Sunday week. De-
ceased was aged 15 years, 8 months,
and 22 days and had only been i11 a,
few days, suffering from an attack of
inflammation of a severe nature. Her
death has certainly cast a deep gloom
over the neighborhood as she was pop-
ular with all classes. innately of a
modest, unassuming disposition, she
early won the esteem and friendship
of those with whom she came in con-
tact. Her sorrowing parents and fam-
ily, and other friends have the conso-
lation of knowing that, though the
partingis sad, the change is better.
The funeral took place on Tuesday to
Granton Presbyterian cemetery.
