way to church on that evening.
Mrs. Gunn had, not been feeling
very well for a week but she consid-
ered herself well enough to attend
church and left home in good time
to walk down, going slowly. Becom-
ing faint before reaching the clibreh
she sat down on the Steps of Currell's
grocery stole, Victoria street, and
was found there a few minutes Tater.
She was assisted .'into the nearest
house and medical assistance sum -
mimed but life had fled before her
husband couldreach her side,.

ter of the late Rev. Alexander Ross,

Ni S., where her girlhood was spent.

eight years ago and cane to Clinton

faithful and loving wife, a true moth-
er and a gracious, kindly mistress•of
her husband's home. Many will give
testimony of ' thehospitality of the
hone over which she held gentle
sway and of her charming personal-
ity. This home site called "name -
an" after the manse of her grand-
father in Sutherlandshire, She was
always much .interested in church
work, being especially active 10 mis-
sionary enterprises. She was :an of,
freer hi the W. M. S of Wesley -Wil-
lis church up to the end. ' -
But her interests were wide enough
to- reach out and take hold of every-
thing which was for the uplift of the
community in which - she lived. 'She
was interestedin people and was al-
ways trying to bring help and happi
ness to others. Indeed, there are few
couples anywhere more widely known'
on more warmly Ioved' and honoured
than Dr. Giron and his wife and to
