Walsh
-- In Simcoe, on the 1st February, Elsie Fairchild, beloved wife of F. L.
Walsh, Esq., Registrar of the County of Norfolk, in her 84th year.
The deceased, who had far
out-lived the three score and ten, passed gently away after a few days'
illness, from which a fatal termination was not at first expected.
Born in
this County, and having lived in it all her days, she was widely known and
greatly esteemed; but mos of the friends of her youth and many of those of
her middle age had long preceded her to the grave.
A link has been
severred in the chain connecting the present to the past, and a blank wich
cannot be filled has been made in the hearts and home.
Her life's partner
-- who is over ten years older -- mourns a beloved wife with whom he had
lived happily for sixty-seven years; children grieve for an affectionate
mother; acquaintences will miss a kindly neighbor, and in her death the
unfortunate poor have lost a friend.
