Ta§ief Ross, an early pioneer of Price- ago with an attack of the “flu”, other complications set in and she sufl’_ered_ a. paralytic stroke. For some weeks she was nursed in her own home and two weeks before her death was removed to Durham hospital where she passed away on January 26th. It was hoped the improvements noticed under hos- pital' treatment would prove success- ful. Her end came quite suddenly. Mrs. MacLachlan married Mr. Don- ald MacLachlan some eighteen years ago. He predeceased. her three years ago this coming April. The family consists of one daughter, Miss Jean. who is 15 years old. Mrs. MacLachlan teacher and taught in Priceville and elsewhere for several years previous to her marriage, and again after- Mr. MacLachlan’s death took up teaching in Priceville school. She was an earn- est, devoted teacher and was always anxious for the advancement of her pupils. The funeral service was held at her residence on Tuesday, January 29 and a very large number of people came to pay their respect to a worthy citizen. Rev. Mr. Corry of Priceville Presbyter- ian church, of which she was a mem ber, was in charge of the services, as- sisted by Rev. F. Sullivan of St. Cai- umba United church. Mr. Corry based his remarks on the story of Dorcas and laid stress on the statement in the Bible which says “Dorcas was full of good works” and truly this could "be said of the deceased as she was inter- ested in all church work and for the good of all that came within her influ- ence. The only living member of Mrs. Mac- Lachlan’s family is a brother, Mr. Bert Ross of Poughkeepsie, N.Y. This gent- leman sent his message of thanks to the many friends who had been kind and attentive during Mrs. MacLach- 'lan"s illness, and great sympathy is felt for Miss Jean, who has lost a kind, indulgent mother. Perhaps the following lines will somewhat express the fine qualities of the deceased.

Special mention was made of Miss Jean by Rev. Mr. Sulli- van who made a most fervent prayer and commended her to the care of a loving heavenly father.
