blowing and after the farmer had gone to

thing to do was to shove grain into the

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.
