Obituary:
. We are called upon this week to record the death of a respected nonagenarian, in the person of Mrs. Mary McCutcheon, who departed this life last Wednesday, in her 95 year.
The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon from the residence of her son, Mr. Stewart McCutcheon, Lot 9, Con. 4, Erin, to the Ballinafad Cemetery.
Deceased came to this country with her husband, Hugh McCutcheon, & 2 children (one of which died on ship board) from the County of Down, Ireland, & settled 30 miles from Montreal. After living there for a few years, they came to Erin Tp., about 65 years ago, [c 1828] & hewed out a home for themselves in the forest where they since lived & died. Their family consisted of nine children, six of whom are still living.
Mrs. McCutcheon has been a widow for 32 years, & has continued to live on the homestead, with her son. In earlier days, she was a Congregationalist, but latterly was a member of the Disciple Church. 2 sons, Stewart & Thomas, live in Erin, Tp., & Robert, in Manitoba; 2 daughters, Mrs. Smith & Mrs. R. Hamilton, reside in Erin, & Mrs. Fieldon, in Seattle, Montana. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Baker & Mr. Fowley.
