The deceased, who had reached the ripe old age of 93 years, had enjoyed excellent health during her long and eventful life up to within a few days of her last illness, and her end was a peaceful termination of a well-spent life. Mrs. Lucas, whose maiden name was Miss Ellen Saunders, was married in 1820 to her aged partner in life, who survives her, now being in his 96th year, and was the mother of 13 children, 11 being still alive, they are: Henry, Mrs. Boddy of Michigan, Andrew, Thomas, Mrs. Black of Bay City Michigan, Mrs. Thomas Higgins, John, William of Gladwin Michigan, James, Robert, and Mrs. John Kidd of Brooke, 81 grandchildren, and 83 great grandchildren are among the living descendants. For 61 years Mr. and Mrs. Lucas have resided on the old homestead, Lot 12 Con 14 Brooke, and during that lenghty period they expereinced all the trials and privations endured by the hardy and industrious pioneers who hewed out homes for themselves and families, in what was then the wilderness of the west. Had the old couple been spared to December of the present year they would have celebrated the 75th or diamond anniversary of their wedding, an event which was looked forward to with interest by the family and relatives. Her death removes one of the few remaining landmarks of the early days, and in a year or two there will be none left to relate the history of the early settlements of this district. Kind hearted, industrious and hospitable to a degree there will be many mourners of the death of "Aunt" Ellen Lucas. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon to the English Cemetery, 6th line (St. James) and was conducted by the Rev. J. Downie. It was one of the largest seen in the township for years, testifying to the esteem in which the deceased was held by a wide circle of relatives and friends. (NOTE: John and Ellen were married 27 December 1822)
