OstrimaX.-Last week we made
brief reference to the demise of Mrs.
J, M. Davies, who was sowell and
favorably known here and whose
decease was due to pernicious anaemia,
despite all that medical attendance and
hosts of friends could do to prolong•
lif.'. The illness was borne with.
Christian fortitude and the thought of
leaving the earthly scenes was bright-
ened by the hope of re -unions bye and
lye in the Home eternal. Of a kindly,
ladylike. generous disposition deceased
was greatly beloved. Her home and
family meant much to her and her
going away has left a great blank in
the home circle, Mrs. Davies. was
born in Brantford in x853, her maiden
name being Elizabeth Stubbs. With
the exception of a few years spent in
Toronto in childhood she lived in
Brantford and vicinity until her mar-
riage in 1876 to her now bereft partner
and has lived in Ethel ever since.
Shortly after marriage she united- witty
the Presbyterian church and was a
consistent member until her death.
She bad her share of trials having lost
font* children, but she bore her sorrows
with patience and resignation. She
had an extensive acquaintance and
wherever kuown will be sincerely
mourned. Io addition to her husband
two daughters and two sons survive to
hold in loving remembrance the life of -
a true wife and loving mother. The
funeral was largely attended last Sat-
urday despite the inclement weather.
The casket was literally buried in mag-
nificentflowers, many being sent from
a distance, The interment was made
at Cranbrook cemetery where other'
members of the family were interred,
