Mrs Roes had been in poor health for several years, but during the past six months her illness assumed a much more serious form, developing eventually into what might. he termed a complication of diseases, baffling not only the best local medical skill, coupled with all the care and attention which a loving husband and family could bestow, hut also the combined skill of the ablest professors of St. Joseph's hospital. The deceased was the second. daughter of the late Andrew Beattie, late of Dumfrieshire, Scotland, and emigrat- ed to this country with her parents in the year 1859, and some years after- wards was happily united in marriage to Mr. Gavin Ross, of Rodgervilla By their union they had four sons, namely Robert B., Guy B., Cecil G. and Frank E. Ross, all of whom are grown-up young men and highly res- pected, and together with their father mourn the loss of an affectioua.te and faithful wife and a loving mother. Vers. Ross was possessed of many ex- cellent 'qualities, including a clear, strong mind and bright intellect, and while pre-eminently a loving wife and kind and affectionate mother, with ;:a fond attachment and devotion to home rind all that pertained to its comfort and happiness, she was not at the same thee unmindful of others, but was kind and hospitable and ever ready to do a kindness to a, friend or extend a helping hand to anyone in want; and while constituted with a high sense of honor and admiration for what was fair. right aud truth, which made her quick to detect and resent what she regarded as wrong- doing, injury or injustice, she was also ready to reason, was open to con- viction and willing to forgive. when forgiveness. was Asked. The .attend- ance at -the funeral was very large and the services as conducted by the Rev. Mr. Martin, of Caven church, Exeter, eesisted by Rev. Ten Eyck, of Trivitt Memorial church, also of Exeter, and Rev. W. J. Doherty, of. St. Paul's church, Hensall, were of a very im- pressive nature and listened to with deep interest. The remains were in- terred in the Exeter cemetery, follow- ed by a large concomee of friends, t e following persons acting as pall- iearers :-Messrs. B. S. O'Neil, A.. Q. 13obiep, and John Farmer, J. P. Ross, Exetee ; J. Hyslop, Cromatty ; G. J. Sutherland, Hensel'. The following lines were contributed by menibers of Mrs. Ross' faintly : In Loving Memory of our Dear Mother, Annie Ross, who died at "Gowanside Farm" Rodgeryille, June 24th, ISM. Oh, Mother, thy gentle voice is hushed. Thy warm. true heart is still, And on thy pale and. peaceful face Is resting death's cold chill, Thy hands are clasped upon thy heart, We have kissed thy marble brow, And in oullaching hearts we know - Wo have no mother now.
