    Blair - On Friday morning, Jan. 27, death claimed Miss Janet Blair, a well-known resident of Drummond township. She had been a patient sufferer having for the space of forty one years been greatly afflicted with rheumatism. During the last six weeks of her life she was confined to her bed with heart trouble.
