jective but had responded with a total

Beath -of Mrs. Whitney McConnell
—Many of our older readers will re-
gret to learn of the death of a once
prominent resident of Seaforth in the
person of Mrs. McConnell, who died
at the home of her son in Bay City,
Michigan on April 3rd, in her 83rd
year. Mrs. ; McConnell had enjoyed
unusually good health up to within a
week of her death, when she suffered
an attack of heart ,trouble. The de-
ceased came to Seaforth with her first
husband, Mrr. Whitney, 54 years ago,
where Mr. Whitney was engaged as a
hardware, stove and tin merchant,
until his death, after which Mrs. Whit-
ney carried on the business -alone for
twenty years, in the store in the Whit-
ney Block, now occupied by Mr. R.
H. Scott, and at the time of her death
still owned the block on Mani Street,
comprising the stores of Mr. H. R.
Scott, boots and shoes, Mr. G, F. S.
Garden's groceries and Mr. D. F.
Buck, photographer. Tbirty-five years
ago she was married to Mr. McConnell

who 'was clerk of that township for
many years, and resided with him
on the Mill Road. About twenty-five
years ago after the death of her sec-
ond husband, Mrs. McConnell removed
tto Brantford, where she resided for
some time, later, making her home
