There passed away, on October 10, a
veritable link with the past. when Miss
Ellen Faussett died at her residence.
John street, Sligo, at the advanced age
of Sc years. She and her sisters, in the
forties, fifties and sixties. had kept the
well-known drapery establishment in
castle street, now managed by Miss Gill
mour. The establishment was patron
lied by the upper ten" very extensively,
and the consequence was that a fortune

In Sligo, since the Misses Faussett were
at their zenith in Castle street.
