DEATH' OF Miss. •
Mc0LINCH7t OF STANLEY,
•
It is our sad duty. to • record the
death. of Miss Marjory Ann McOlinchy'
of the Goshen Line. She with"her
father took' their journey to visit some
friends in' Michigan about.a month'
ago. No other than a letter .of the
account of their.visit was received *by.
the friends at home' until the 23rd ult.,
when a telegram.: was sent to the family
to meet :her•corpse. at Kippen station.
Leaving in good health and spirits, and
then such a telegram, was more dis-
tressing than could be imagined. The
funeral took place. from her father's
residence on the . Goshen Line on the
25th ult.. and was conducted by the
Rev. E.'C. Jennings of Bayfield. The
remains .were taken to the 'Bayfield
cemetery,. followed. by the largest cone
course of friends seen for many years
in that cemetery. The deceased was
well known and a. young lady highly
esteemed and. respected by all. She
was a Christian in life and'profession
and. she will be••rrrisscd. Her death
came as a shock to all, and is another
,warning that the Almighty calls those'
of youthful' days as welt as those of
older years. Much, sympathy is felt
for the bereaved -family and especially
for the lonely. sister who will miss her
voice and company iii the daily" duties
of life, The Good Shepherd had need
f 'of her and she' obeyed: the call 'with a
