THE GREAT DIVIDE
Mary Styles, widow of the late Role:
eit Keys of Stanley township, died at -
the home of her son Mr. Benjamin •
ICeys, the ninth" concession, on Tees-
-day of last week in her ninety-second
Yew.. .
The lett. Mrs. Keys was born in .
Manvers, Durham County, blit her
parents moved to Huron when she
was three years of age, settling at
Berne, now Blake, on the farm now
owned by Me. Albert Keys, a nephew
of her late husband. At tb,at time
Cleve was nothing but a blazed trail
through the bush and they and their
children' knew well the haeileame 01
pioneer life. It -was customary then
to walk to Goderich with a basket of
eggs; returning with the groceries,
etc., which were received in trade for
them:- Many an interesting story she
could tell of those early days.
Mrs. Keys was, married when twen-
ty years of age and she and her hu -
band set up their little home on the
Babylon line and she lived the re-
mainder of her life on this line, al.
though the latter part of 18 WAS on
another farm. Mr. Keys died lir Ape

Hanna of Yellowgrass, Sask. Anoth-
er son, John RathwelL of Hensall,
died last fall.
Mrs. Keys, in Apite oa her great
age, was active almost to the end.
Her greatest affliction was loss of
sight,, which had 'befallen her a year
or so ago. It is thought that worry
over the illness of her daughter-11s-

ren, hastened the end, which was aue
