Deceased was born in Kilbride, Scotland, in March, 1804, and came to Canada with her parents in 1821, settling in Ramsay the same year. She was therefore a witness of many of the wonderful changes that have taken place since that time in Lanark County, and had her share of the struggles and vicissitudes incident to pioneer life in Canada. In 1823 she married the late Alexander Yuill and settled of the farm on which she died, having lived on it continuously, with the exception of five years she and her husband lived in Carleton Place. Seven children blessed this union – five boys and two girls; and four of these survive, viz.: Joseph, on the homestead; William of Peck, U.S.; Janet, of Providence, U.S.; and Mrs Neil L. Lecke (Agnes), of Sarnia. About eight years ago deceased was affected with congestion of the brain, and lost her reasoning powers. Her physical strength remained good until about six weeks ago, when she fell and fractured her leg. Since that time she was confined to bed, and from the day after the accident till her death she did not partake of a mouthful of nourishment of any kind – an evidence of wonderful vitality for one of her great age. The remains of the venerable woman were interred in the Eighth Line cemetery on Monday afternoon, being followed thither by a large turnout of friends and neighbours.
