On Sunday last, after an illness of ' more than a year’s duration, death came to MrsJames Stonehouse of this town. The maiden name of the deceased was Sarah Davis. She was born in Quebec, on the 9th of June, 1840. At the age of seven years shel came to Glenelg with her parents and has been a resident of Durham and vicinity ever smce. In 1860 she mar- ried Jam es Stonehouse, which resulted in an issue of seven children, five of whom survive as follows:â€" David, of Car-man. Man., James, of Hawkes- bury, \Villiam, of Niagara, Mrs. James Hepburn and Bert of this town. She also leaves two brothers, M. J. Davis, of Glenelg, and Wm. Davis of 'BagOt, Manitoba. The deceased until she was taken down over a year ago was always a strong healthy woman, a member of the Presbyterian Church and a highly esteemed member of the community in which she lived. Heart trouble and other complications were the. cause of her death. During her illness she was carefully nursed by her daughter, Mrs. Hepburn who did all in her power for the comtort of her suff- ering mother. The remains were interred in the cemetery here, on , 'l‘uesda-ty afternoon. The sympathy of the community goes out to the sor- rowing relatives who fully appreciate the kindness shown during the illness of the deceased. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TOWNSHIP OF GLENELG.
