Mrs. Bunt Passes Away A sorrowful hush spread over this vil- lage on Sunday morning last when it was learned that Mrs. W. H. Bunt had passed away about 4 a. m. On Tuesday of last week ehe was stricken with some- thing in the nature of an epileptic stroke, just what the doctors were undecided. Three doctors and a trained nurse were engaged on the case, but iu spite of skill aud the ministration of loving bauds the aim i' I of death was victorious and the spirit took ifg departure from the clay after forty-eight hours of total uncou- sciumr.eis. The chuich bells were silent throughout the day and the Methoditt Sabbath school, iu which the deceased lady was a teacher, and whose husband is superintendent, was withdrawn. Mrs. Bunt was an indefatigable worker in the church through the W.H.S., Ladies' Aid and Sabbath school, and her departure is mourned by all her associ- ates, us well as by the citizens at large, with whom her kindly nature* was the open sesame to every heart. She was born at Piley, Oat., forty-six years ago I last August, her maiden uaiue being ; Ma/gie Burton. Most of her life until I her marriage was spent at Wood bridge, i She was a daughter of the late Win. j Burton of that place. Besides the stricken husband, Mrs. Bunt leaves three young children Lilian, aged 14 : Flor- ence, aged 1'J, and Frankie. '). She also leaves behind her mother, two brothers and a sister Neil, Gideon and Mary Burton. The Methodist church ou Monday afternoon was crowded to the doors with . A sympathetic audience who listened to a Xarstedt drove to Owen Sound ou Sun- 1 filing acdress by the pastor. Kev. H. E.

Last week we men- tioned little Archie McNevin as being very low with diphtheria. The little fellow paued away the following Thuiv iUy and was interred in New England cemetery the followiog morning. Two other members of the family, Kena, Archie's liatet, and his cousin, Pearle, a! in fell ill of the dreaded disease, tut it was thought the doctoi bad checked it and, with the attendance of two trained nursea, they were reported as recovering slowly. But on Friday morning word spread around that Pearle had passed away, heart failure closing in at last. Everyone win awe-stricken, for Pearle was a young girl only twenty years of age, ^ League worktr and a general asso- ciate widi all the young people's gather- ings and in the Sunday school, where she took an active part.

The mother, two sisters and a brother survive the de- erased, namely Mrs. S. Wiley of this place, Ed. and Stewart in the West, and Lou aud Ida at home. The funeral took place to New England cemetery on Saturday, this being the fourth funeral from that home ia two years, that of Mrs. T's mother included.
