She had been ailing for a week of so from bronchial affection, but was thought to be better and she was looking forward to a night of quiet repose, when she suddenly expired in the arms of her daughter, Mrs West, who was making her comfortable for the night. Mrs Teskey was born at Athens (then Farmersville) and was 76 years of age. She was the youngest daughter of the late Wm Giles, who came from Ireland in 1811, and settled at Utica, N.Y. In the following year he became dissatisfied with conditions in the U.S. and in 1813 he removed to Canada, coming to Brockville and afterwards settling at Farmersville, where he purchased a farm. Here it was that Mrs Teskey was born. Deceased was married to Mr J.A. Teskey on Sept 22nd, 1862, and with him went to Appleton where they lived until a couple of years ago, when they came to Almonte. Five children were born to them, but only two – Albert E., of Winnipeg, and Mrs W. West (Ethel) of Almonte – survive. One sister, Mrs Geo Glassford of Kingston, who is in her 87th year, also survives. Her youngest brother, Dr. Giles, of Athens, died six years ago in March. Mrs Teskey was a women of quiet and retiring disposition, whose home was her absorbing care, and here it was that the loving traits of her character were to be seen. She was for years a member of the Methodist church, and in her quiet life were borne the fruits that her consistent walk demanded. The funeral will take place on Friday at 3 o'clock to the eighth line cemetery.
