Our village was shocked on Tues- day, February 17th, when the fresh young life of Mrs. Tho.s. Woods was so quickly snapped away from our midst at the age of 23 j'ears and 7 months. She had been ailing for only a short time. About-edght years ago she underwent an operation for goitre at Rochester and ever since her heart has been weak, the goitre having been so hard on her system, and it was supposed to have hastened her end. Her maiden name was Katie Morrison youngest daughter of the late Mr. Marshall Morrison and Mrs. Morrison. She leaves to mom-n her loss a young husband and little babe of seven mos., Beryl; her mother, five b*t-othei's and one sister â€" Will of Richmond Hill, Ont.; Albert of Shelbume; Jack and Alex of Maxwell; Harold of Flesher- ton and Mrs. Will Stewart of Regina, Sask. All were present at the fun- eral with the exception of Mrs. Stuart. The remains were taken to the Anglican church where the Rev.
