married to her now sorrowing hus-
band and they :farmed in Stanley
township until 1904, when they moved
into Clinton. Mrs. McEwan was a
woman who made firends wherever
she went. She was cheerful, kindly
and neighborly and was much liked
and esteemed. She was a member at
Willis church and was interested in
the activities of its women's societies.
She will bo greatly missed by the
ladies of that congregation. But it
is amongst her own family that site
will be missed most sorely, Besides
her husband she is survived by two
sons and two daughters: Mrs, 0. L.
Paisley of Clinton, Mrs. W, E. Tob-
butt of Goderich and John H. and
Alexatnder McEwan of Stanley town-
