Camw.-n becomes our sad duty this week to chronicle the death of Mrs. Sanford Carey which oc- curred at the, home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Woodward, at six o'clock on Sunday evening last. She was taken ill with fever: about five weeks ago. The fever had safely passed and her friends were congratulating themselves or. her speedy recovery when an unexpected complication arose last Friday and in spite of medical skill she sank until Sunday evening when shezfell into the "sleep that knows no waking." She was the eld- est daughter of Mr. G. W. Woodward, excise officer, and was in her 29th year. The blow is a severe one for Mr. Carey who only a few months ago was called upon to mourn the loss of his eldest daughter. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'eloek. The remains were interred in Mount Hope Cemetery after which a short and appropriate service was held in the Methodist Church. The bereaved husband and motherless little daughter and the grief-stricken par- ents will, we are sure, have the symp- athy of the entire community in this hour of trial and sad afflietion.
