She was thc relict of the late Charles Wil liford, who died thirteen years ago, and a daughter of the late Thos. Skel ton, of this County. Strangely coinci dent with the circumstances of her death is the fact that she died in the same room in which she waa born, and in which she was married. She was apure, honest, high-minded Christian lady, who was beloved of all who knew her, and whose influence will be great ly missed in the community. She was interred at Roberts Church beside her late husband.
