A few years later they moved to a farm near the brickyard north of Lown. It was there they raised their family of 5 boys and 5 girls, a. sirla AV girl, Ruth, dying in infancy. In 1899 they ;moved to Manitoba; where they took up land near Kirkella and where they continued to live until the death of Mr. Blackwell, 9 years ago. Since that time Mrs. Black- well has lived among her children and si at the thne of her death was residing Ml with her youngest daughter, Norma, in Brandon. Up to two years ago Mrs. Black- wll enjoyed good health and was ex- cetionaly active but at that tirne she 03 took a couple of strokes that depriv- ed her of the use of the right hand and her power of speech though her oth- er faculties remained uninjured, but her strength gradually decAned until about two weeks ago when it became evident the end was rapidly approach- ing and on Nov. 29th. as already stat - MI • rig ed death claimed her. Thoroughly domestic in all her ha - 1 bits Mrs. Blackwell devoted her life 0 Ito her family though she was a keen student of social and public affairs, but took no active part in them.

Its teachings formed the rule of her life and' she had no doubt nor did those who knew her doubt that as far as the frailties of human nature would permit she was; letting the Holy Spirit guide and di- rect her life, To her the religion of Jesus Christ was a very personal thing and grew stronger and her tes- timony clearer and brighter and she passed into the Valley Of Shadows. 52 without a fear and with a smile on licr Her ;neinciry will long be cherish- ed tot only by the members. of her, own family but by a large circle of friends and acquaintance who have come within the influence of her gen- tle sympathetic ;and lovable personali- ty.
