The deceased, Sarah Duff McPherson, wife of Mr John Paul, was a daughter of Mr George McPherson and his wife, Jane Livingstone Marr, and was born in Canada. She was married by the minister of St Andrew's Church, Perth, Jan., 4th, 1860, to Mr John Paul, by whom she had ten children, eight boys and two girls, eight of whom are alive, and two dead. Her death was very sudden; most intense were her sufferings until very near the end. On the Sabbath before, 23rd June, she came with her children as was her wont, to the Sabbath School; at Divine service occupied her own pew, in perfect health, a devout and earnest worshipper. On the evening of the same day, in her home with her husband, she conversed very earnestly and intelligently about the second advent of the Redeemer, the subject of the morning's discourse in church, and filled the last hours of her last Sabbath upon this earth in singing the praise of God. She continued to have excellent health until about one o'clock on Wednesday morning, when her sufferings began, and lasted until about five o'clock then she fell asleep for a short time, and awakening exclaimed, "O, these frail bodies of ours," – the last words she ever spoke on earth. From that time convulsions began, of such painful and fatal nature, continuing about three hours with but very short intervals that she, notwithstanding all that the best of medical skill could do, became unconscious, and very rapidly sank, until, in her unconsciousness, she breath her last, and fell asleep in Jesus, in the presence of her beloved husband and children and while an aged relative was praying for her. On Friday her remains were taken to the Auld Kirk graveyard, Ramsay, by a large a company of sympathizing friends as was probably ever seen here before; thus showing the hold she and her bereaved husband have in respect and esteem of others.
