obituary. -- The news that flashed over the wires from Vancouver, B.C., one of Canada's far away cities, that Mrs. Geo. L. Reid was dead, after an illness of only five days, was received with gloom and sorrow by her large circle of friends in Port Dover, the home of her youth, where she was held in high esteem for her many good qualities.

Previous to her marriage, less than three years ago, she was a prominent member of the choir and Sunday School of the Presbyterian church, and her absence was much felt from these organizations.

The remains were brought from Vancouver, arriving here on Saturday afternoon last, and were interred in the new cemetery, being attended by a large concourse of friends and relatives.

The pallbearers were her four brothers, John M. Riddell, Belleville, James D. Riddell, Stratford, Allan McD. Riddell, Cleveland, Ohio, Lorne Riddell, Midland, and her two brothers-in-law, Frank Reid, Simcoe, and J. R. Platt, Horseheads, N.Y.

The bereaved husband and family have the sincere sympathy of the community in their sore affliction. -- Port Dover Maple Leaf.
