Died:
Janet M. Gemmill, wife of John Smith, passed away from her earthly abode last Friday, April 21st. The first intimation of her illness came about two weeks ago, but serious results were not anticipated until Monday of last week when pleuro-pneumonia developed and hastened the end.

Janet Gemmill was born March 13th, 1858, in the house which was her home all through life and the final scene of her days, the Gemmill farmstead, about a mile distant from Lanark village. In April, 1906, she joined hands in wedlock with Mr. John Smith. The husband is very much cast down by the sudden loss of his partner in life. One sister survives, Mrs. J. Bond, Ottawa; also her mother, Mrs. Andrew Gemmill.

Mrs. Smith was a quiet, unassuming woman, who lived her life in peace and did all the good that she could as a neighbor and friend. Her hand never made a fond display of its good deeds, but there was always present that sweetness of soul and natural goodness that find expression, not in show and fuss, but rather in the manner of carrying on the ordinary affairs of life.

The funeral took place on Monday afternoon to Lanark village cemetery, services being conducted by Rev. D.C. MacIntosh.
