Mrs. James Read of
Lynedoch, died suddenly on Tuesday, September 6th, in her 62nd year.
Miss
May Read, daughter of the deceased lady, returned from her school where
she is a teacher, about four o'clock, and found her mother lying a few
feet from the house, dead.
When
last seen alive Mrs. Read was apparently as well as usual, and it is
believed she was in the act of going to the pump when death seized her.
Her late husband predeceased her by about seven years.
Those
who are left to mourn the loss of their mother, are Miss Hattie,
Toronto; Miss May, at home, and Russel, of Revelstoke, B. C.
The
funeral was held at Lynedoch on Thursday of last week.
