  	Stratford, Perth County, Ontario, Canada OBITUARY MRS. JAMES BROWN nee MARGARET PARK Motherwell - died on Thursday night April 14, 1892, Mrs. James Brown aged 84 yrs., 9 months and 4 days. The deceased whose maiden name was Margaret Park was born in Cambuslang, Scotland in the year 1807. She emigrated with her parents in the year 1822 to the Township Dalhousie, Lanark County, where 6 years later she married James Brown, who is also a native of Scotland, who survives her. Ten children were born to them, two of whom died young. In 1846 they moved to Township of Fullarton. Here they made themselves a home in what was then the forests of Canada and here they have since lived together until her death. A short time ago, although apparently in good health, blood poisoning set in a small scratch on the back of her hand, and after 3 weeks of terrible suffering she passed away. Six of her children were present at her bedside and saw an affectionate wife and kind and loving mother, after 64 years of married life, breathe her last having enjoyed a much longer period of wedded life than usually falls to the human race. She, in early life, became a member of the Presbyterian Church and led a long, devoted, exemplary Christian life. Her whole life was spent in trying to do good to others, caring little for her own personal benefit as long as the comfort and happiness of others could be secured. She died in the full assurance where there shall be no more pain, no more parting, but where she shall ever sing the praises of her Redeemer. The funeral was well attended by many from a distance who had met to pay the last sad tribute of respect to all that remained of one whom they had learned to love and esteem. Six of her grandsons acted as pallbearers while the Rev. Mr. Grant, St. Mary's, conducted the funeral services. She has left behind many deceased ______ grandchildren to mourn her loss. (Poem).
