cloud has bung over the home with-
out any doubt and the bereaved father

ings of profound regret that we record

geld McDonald of the 7th con., Morris.
She had not enjoyed very good health
for some time and gradually grew
worse until the -end came on Friday,
Feb. 25th, at the age of 39 years. Her
kindness of heart and modesty of de-
meanor endeared her toall and made
her welcome everywhere. She will be
remembered as one who exemplified
in her daily walk through life, the
gentlest traits of chi•istian woman-
hood. The funeral on Friday was of
a very impressive character, the ser-
vice being conducted by Rev. A. C.
Wishart, B. A., who spoke of deceased
being so well prepared to enter into
the joy of her Lord. Her remains
were laid to rest in Brussels cemetery,
followed by a large concourse of peo-
ple. Deceased was a sister to Mr. A.
