Over Fifty Years of Wedded Life and Less than a Week Between their Departure to the Better Land. Wednesday, March 27th at 2,30 a. In, the spirit of George Patterson, a long time and most worthy resident of the 13th con, of Grey, was beckoned away. About two months prior be bad a stroke of paralysis and at his advanced age of nearly 88 years there was not the physical vigor to combat it, He was conscious to the last. The funer- al took place to Cra brook cemetery on the Friday following, deceased's pastor, Rev. D. B. McRae, between whom were strong and long existing ties of friendship, conducting a most appropriate service, Pall bearers were Jno, McTaggart, las. McNair, J P. McIntosh, Marshal Harrison, Wm. Cameron and Wm, Perrie. In ad- dition to floral wreaths by members of the family a beautiful one of white roses was seat by Alex, Cardno, of Seaforth, Mrs. Patterson, who had been in failing health for the past 5 years and confined to bed for about 2 months with dropsy, had expressed the wish that she might be called away when her life partner bade good-bye to the earthly home. Her wish, while not granted at the time of her husband's demise. was realized on the following Monday, April 1st, when at ri p, m, she passed away, in her 75th year, to rejoin the one who had faithfully stood by her side for over 5o years. Thurs. day afternoon'. of last week the six. pall bearers who bore Mr. Patterson's remains to the tomb carried her casket to the same resting place. It seemed a very feting thing that this fine old couple, who were so much attached to one another, should sleep side by side in the church yard with so short a period intervening between their deaths. Rev. Mr. McRae improved the opportunity by speaking words of comfort, cheer and admonition at the funeral service. Mr. and Mrs Patterson were both born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and came to Canada in their youth. The former came first, Airs. Patterson, whose maiden name was Isabel Imlay, along with her mother and other meta bers of the family, arriving in June of 1855. Mr. Imlay died in Scotland On April 17112 1856, Rey. A. Edwards tied the nuptial bow between Mr. and Mrs. Patterson at St. Mary's Perth Co and after a sojourn of z years in Ox ford Co. they came to Grey where they purchased lot 29, 000. 13, then a bush farm. Here they lived, toiled prospered and died, esteemed by all who knew them for their genuine worth, Christian devotion, kindness and bospitality. The old couple cele- brated their Golden Wedding on April 170 1906 at which the above portrait was taken. The children are Peter, of Logan ; Mrs. Jas. Mann, of Grey ; Mrs, R.

The subjects of this sketch were loyal and devoted members of the Presby- terian church for many years and their names will long be cherished as synonyms of many characteristics well worthy of close following. George Imlay, of Ethel, is a brother of Mrs. Patterson. Many were the changes which were seen by Mr. and Mrs. Patterson in Grey from the clays of nearly 5o years ago to the comforts and conveniences of the present time. Their energy, industry and good management made it possible to transform their surroundings from the primeval forest to well tilled acres. The members of the family desire to express their thanks to the many kind friends, who were so helpful and thoughtful during the illness and sub- sequent demise of their beloved par- ents It was most highly appreciated. by the judges.
