Mrs Wm Smith
Mrs Wm Smith, of the 11th line, Ramsay, had been in poor health for several weeks, though able to be about the house at times, and was not thought to be seriously ill, but on Wednesday morning death came and ended a long and useful life. Mrs Smith, who was in her 77th year, was Jean Neilson, daughter of the late John Neilson, and was born on the 12th line of Ramsay, one of a family of nine, of whom only one, Mrs Gavin Hamilton, is now living. The deceased was married to Mr Smith over fifty years ago, and has since lived on the farm upon which she died. The family born to them consisted of five sons, one of whom died in infancy, and three daughters. The daughters are Misses Agnes and Jennie, at home, and Miss Mary, who follows her profession as trained nurse in Ottawa, but who was home and tended her mother in her declining health. The sons who attained manhood are William, who is dead, John at Winnipeg; Robert, at Cornwall, and James, who died a year or two ago. Mrs Smith was of a quiet and retiring disposition, but her kind and motherly nature endeared her to many who bear testimony to her willingness to sacrifice her won comfort and convenience if by doing so she could help a needy friend or neighbour. The funeral takes place on Friday to the eighth line Cemetery. The bereaved family and friends have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
