The deceased was born in the United States, March 3rd,1816. When about nine years old, after the death of her mother, she was brought by her father, Mr. Kenyon and family to the vicinity of Ingersoll, Ont. About the year 1834 she came to this neighbourhood, when she was married to the late John Setterington. Their married life was for the most part spent in this vicinity.
