It was with pained surprise and sorrow. this community learned last week of the death of Mrs Wm Mountain in Calgary, Hospital from a heart affection, having thus survived her husband by nearly eight months. She went west a few months ago to visit a much loved niece, so she would not be lacking in tender love and care during her illness. Her daughter, Mrs. Leegan left also for her bedside and reached there a few days before she pas sed away. Deceased was Miss Elizabeth Gray, of a well known family here in early days of whom the only member now surviving is Miss Jean Gray of Durham. She was married to Mr. Mountain in 1883 and by thrift and industry they ac quired a modest competence ; by genial, neighborly, kindly tastes they acquired the love and respect of the community. To the sorrowing daughter, **Maimie,”” now Mrs Ernest Leeson, to the lonely sister and to nieces and nephews in sev eral places sympathy will be extended. She was a member and worker of Dur ham Presbyterian Church and Rev G. S. Scott, of Holstein, conducted the funeral services on Wednesday and many old neighbors and friends assembled to pay the last tribute. Mr Scott spoke com forting words from Hosea 13 : 14, “1 will ransom them from the power of the grave, 1 will redeem them from death.’ He showed that death and the grave merely were as a vestibule between the life that now is and that which is to come, and though the vestibule may be dark a guid ing hand would infallibly lead to the light. Both ransomed and redeemed, a comforting thought. Beautiful floral offerings spoke love and respect to the memory of the deceased. Mr and Mrs Neil McKinnon and Miss Christine of Priceville, Mr Charles Gray Watson, London, a nephew, were among those present from a distance. Interment took place in Maplewood cemetery
