The people of Waterford and vicinity were shocked Friday forenoon last to learn of the sad and unexpected death of Mrs. Charles Harrison, aged 37 years and 9 months.

The deceased, who was born in the city of Hamilton, was down town shopping Thursday and got breakfast ready Friday morning, after which she complained of not feeling well, lapsed into unconsciousness, and never rallied.

The late Mrs. Harrison came here with her husband about seven years ago, and while here won many friends.

The deceased leaves to mourn her loss a sorrowing husband and two sons, Earl, 9, and Danny, 3. An aged mother, Mrs. McLelland of Hamilton, two sisters, Mrs. Hammond of Cincinnati, and Mrs. Ratram, and one brother, Andrew McLelland of Hamilton, also survive.

To these and other sorrowing relatives the sincere sympathy of this neighborhood is extended. A service was conducted at the house on Monday evening by Rev. H. Wilkins and the remains conveyed to Hamilton for interment on Tuesday.

It was a rude shock that came to the many friends of Mrs. Chas. Harrison on Friday when they heard of her sudden and unexpected death. On Thursday she was down town and on Friday got breakfast for her little family. Before noon she was taken with convulsion caused by Uraemic poisoning and died in a very short time. The sincerest sympathy of her many friends is extended to the husband and family.

Mrs. Harrison was born near Hamilton and was the daughter of Andrew McClelland. Ten years ago she was married and six years ago moved to Waterford. Besides her husband, two little boys, eight and three, are left without the loving care of a most devoted mother.
