McLaren? Died, on Tuesday, 17th July, Frances Thornton McLaren, relict of the late Mr. William McLaren, North Elmsley, aged 84(?).

On Tuesday of this week another of our oldest residents Mrs.William McLaren of North Elmsley at the town limits passed away at the age of 84 years. The deceased was a native of County Kilkenny, Ireland & came to Canada with her parents in 1823. Her maiden name was Frances Thornton & her father on coming to this local, settled on a farm in North Elmsley towards Port Elmsley. It is just about 2 months since she lost her aged life partner & an extended obituary notice published then will apply to a great extent to her case also. Soon after the death of her husband she had 2 falls & these hastened her death perhaps by some years, as her health & constitution had been remarkably good before this for one so old. Her funeral to Elmwood Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon was largely attended & the services were performed at the house & grave by Rev.D.Currie of Knox Church. Her family are 11 in number all of whom except one (James) survive. There are few now left of the old settlers.

Another Victim
Yesterday about 2 o'clock, pm, James McLaren, on of the oldest settlers on the Scotch Line, went into Charles Gordon's Tavern in this Town and asked for liquor which was refused him. He then solicited something to eat & some bread and beef was given to him. When he had about half concluded, he began to cough - leaned back his h ead, and expired. It is supposed that the meat stuck in his throat, and choked him. An Inquest, at the time we write, is about to be held. We understand that he was partially the worse of liquor at the time, and has been since Tuesday, more or less in the same state. This is another warning! Who will be the next victim?
