ODITUARY.—Ws have this week to chronicle the death of Mrs. Thos. Roe, who departed this life on the 5th inst. Though we cannot say that the event was altogether unexpected, yet this does nob. lessen the regret with which intelligence Of her demise reaches our ears, Mrs. Roe, along withher hosband and daugh- ter, removed to Seaforth about three months ago hoping to enjoy a few years of rest, and relaxation from active toil. But she was net destined to enjoy her now home long, 11for upwt r is of a year or more before she left the farm the bad not been in robust health, but her friends were hopeful of a partial if not complete recovery. However their antioipations failed to be realized. Instead of con. valesoing she slowly bsoame worse, and despite all that medical skill and the cars of kind friends could do, she suc- cumbed to the disease on April 5th, as stated above. Dropsy of the heart was the immediate cause of death. The subject of this notice was of Irish ances- try and wee born near Ottawa about 70 years ago. The greater part of her life was spent in Grey township, in St. Marys , and in the township of McKil- lop, of which she was a resident for over 20 years. Mrs. Roe was a gentle, unas- suming disposition, without any show of vanity or pride. Sho was neither cold nor reserved. indeed her sincerity and amiability won her the good will and esteem of all with whom she cams in eon tact. Fromchildhood she had been, a consistent member of the Methodist church, and hers surely was a life which could say,—"I have fought a good fight ; I have finished my coarse ; I have kept the faith." To mourn her loss she leaves behind her a husband, whose care and attaobmsnt were a model ofcon- jugal devotion, and a family of 2 sole and 4 daughters, all of whom have at- tained to manhood and womanhood. The remains were interred in Brussels cemetery. 64, Grand Trun 321igT.ivE4 k'. 1017t -tiek If you want to Travel NORTH SOUTH EAST or WEST. ---TAKE Tar,— errand Trunk. For partionlars apply to j.
