Christmas I gave hum spent an home of Priceville (Our Own Correspondent) We are nearing the end of 1945 and to many in this district, it will not soon be forgotten, as we have had much sickness and trouble, al- though we hepe that the majority of the homes spent the usual merry Christmas. However, death called at some homes. Last week a young man of 27 years, the late John Mc- Kinnon of Egremont. contracted pneumonia very suddenly, and in a couple of days, answered the last call, leaving a brother, Donald, and a sister, Mrs. Colin Kennedy, to mourn his death. Our sympathy goes out to them at this time. This morning we learn that our greatly esteemed friend, the late Mrs. John Burnett of South Line, Artemesia, has passed away. Al- though it was looked for by all, et when at last death arrived, it m es us all stop and think for a time. The deceased lived in and around Price- ville all her life and probably is as well known as anyone in this \‘1- cinity. Of a quiet, sincere dis osl- tion, she won esteem everyw ere. She was a splendid hostess and a wonderful mother and wife, a D??? a year made little difference to her as a hostess as long as she was cap-l able and although she suffered keen- 1 ly, she bore it wonderfully. For the} past few days. she was totally un- conscious and in the evening of De- cember 28 passed away in her 67th year. Her family are all home at. this time, hush-amt John, William and Archie at home. Mrs. C. Smel- lie (Evelyn), and Mrs. D. McMillan (Lillie) have been in attendance for some time past. and Mrs. E. Lane (Mabel) and Miss Jean arrived re- cently, also Arthur from the West.
