10 o'clock she retired and we are sor-
ry to say she never arose from her
bed. Near 4 o'clock Monday morn.
ing Mr. Town was awakened by her
heavy breathing and heard a kind of
rattle in her throat. He immediate-
ly summoned the members of the
family but before they got to the bed-
side the mother's spirit had fled.
Heart disease was pronounced as the
cause of her depth and the physician
said a blood vessel had probably

Town was troubled with an aff'eotion
of the heart and the dootor prescrib-
ed freedom from excitement as the
only euro. It seems that last week
when the fire occurred in her eon's
house she got very much excited and
to this cause ]ler sudden dsooase is
attributed. Mrs. Town was born in
Kent Go., Eng., where she was mar-
ried to her now bereft husband. They
emigrated to Canada about 21 years
ago and settled near Woodstock and
afterwards removed to Seaforth from
whence they Dame to Brussels 10 yrs.
ago. The deceased was the mother
of 15 children, 9 of whom are living.
she had been an uncommonly healthy
woman, hardly ever knowing what
sickness was. To say that she en-
joyed the respect and esteem of all
who knew her is giving but feeble ex-
pression to her real worth. By her
death a loving wife, an affectionate
mother and a good neighbor has pas.
sed away. Mr. Town and family
have the sympathy of the entire com-
munity in this heavy and unexpected
bereavement. The funeral on Wed-
nesday afternoon was very largely
attended. This death cannot fail to
impress upon the mind of everyone
the truthfulness of the oft quoted
statement "In the midst of lifelwe are
in death."
