to have a slight stroke. She became gradually weaker and died
on
Thursday.

the late Robt. McCool about 1876 and resided on the farm west of
this place for some 15 or 20 years.

went to Hamilton to keep house for her brother, Mr. W. H. Cliff.
She lived in Hamilton
previous to coming to this place.

friends in this place and Simcoe, who sincerely regret to learn of
her death and extended their sympathies to the bereaved family.
