Falkingham dead? dead!” How the sad rews flashed from home to home through the neighborhood last. Thursday, August 25th. thrilling hearts with sorrow and grief and causing oxclamations like the above. The busv active life goneâ€"the cheery, bright. spirit quiet â€"it is the saddest event that this neighborhood ever knew. Just the eyening before so full of household duties and gay spiritsâ€"at ten o’clock the next day calm and peaceful in the long sleep. She was taken ill during the night and Drs. Gun and Mac- donald were soon sent for; but de- spite the skill of these clever young men, it was impossible to save her. The grief of the friends, the young husband and motherless children made strong men weep. It wasa sad hour. She was born in Selbv, York- shire, England, on March 20th 1870 and on the 15th of April 1889 was ,most happily wedded to W. L. Fal- kingham. .so widely known. For a couple of years they lived in the motherland, and then came out to Canada, living a time in Norfolk 00.; but ten years ago purchased the Hay- ward’s Falls prOperty and have been most successful, and the home has ever been ‘noted for its hospitality ' and entertainment. Mrs. Falking- ham was a clever pianist and possess- ed a SWeet, musical voice. Many and many a time has she and her husband helped at entertainments. The fun. ‘ eral took place on Sunday afternoon to Zion cemetery and was the largest ever known in the neighborhood over two hundred rigs being in procession. The Rev. T. Colling B. A. conducted , the service and paid a high tribute E to the departet, who was a member of Zion church and also of the Ep. ' League, the young members of which ' most gracefully, draped the grave in white and garlanded it with flowers. ’ The floral tributes from friends were I very beautiful and abundant. but ’ specially beautiful was a floral pillow . from Mr. Orr Minnie and his em-l 1 ployees, with the incription ‘Friends’ upon it. These men have been boarding there while working at the new dam and a sob was in their voice and tears in their eves, when they spoke of her untiring kindness and ,, thoughtfulness, To her and her hus- band were given seven childrenâ€"â€" 3 three boys and four girlsâ€"but the baby boy of six months of age was ‘ laid to restin Zion’s acre last Xmas. tide; so the six sorrowing children and the stricken husband and friends are left to mourn. Words and deeds ;of sympathy have poured in upon - f them and hundreds of hearts sorrow " with them,because "Mother is gone.” \Jw 3' ELECTION SNACKS. Traverston.
