Joseph buy- A lng' her stock of goods ( and was on her way home when she took f violently ill and died at Stella on I , 'r [ uesdn' - J . S. A. -McGcchie had been quite sick for the past three or four months and when hc sad news . . . - : , of hif wife's death reached him t hc t shock was too much and hc breathed his last l \Velnesclay aftcrnoon.Onc of thc sad features about this double death is the fact that they leave behind three small motherless and fatherless children to make their way through life alonc. A double funeral was held in Shubert yesterday and thc earthly - remains of father and mother ' were laid beneath the sod.
