The sad news reached here last
Saturday that Mrs. Mary Hallam,
wife of Joseph Hallam, was dead. 1t
was quite shock to her many
friends here, as no one knew of her
sickness, which must have been very
sudden and severe. Mrs. Hallam,
was an intelligent lady, a loving
wife, a kind and affectionate mother,
and an obliging neighbor. The ex-
pressions of her acquaintance at
this place is, "to know her was to
love her." The funeral took place
from late residence, on the Tuesday
following her death. Her remains
were inferred at Bloomfield, to
which place she was followed by a
large number of sympathising and
mourning friends. We express our
heartfelt sympathy with the afflicted
husband, brothers, sisters, and other
relatives in this sad hour of bereave-
ment, and sincerely hope that they
will be prepared to meet their chris
TRAN mother in that world beyond.
