The building has loeg since fallen into decay; and thevatant lot opposite the Royal Organ factory is the only remainino- landmark of the first tevern in Guelph!. The arly life of ; deceased in this country iv s not one of ease. She experienced ih no. small degree the trials. and . hardships which fell to the lot of the piomier, and her remarkable energy and indi stry are still remembered by those who 1 ved here at that time... After keepin hotel for rean.y yeam Mr. MeTague retired into rivate life. In 1852 he ied, leaving •tus faithful partner to face the difficul- , ties an,d tribulations of life done.
