McKee, J. D., Mrs.

A Young Husband Sadly Bereft.
The death on Thanksgiving evening of Mrs. McKee, wife of Mr. J. D. McKee, druggist, came as a shock upon this community. Since becoming a mother some two months ago, Mrs. McKee has been in a precarious state of health, and with a view to relief an operation was performed on Wednesday. Her debilitated constitution was unable to recover the shock and a general collapse of the system followed with the end result noted. Since coming to Acton two years ago, a bride, Mrs. McKee has made many sincere friends. She was very highly esteemed and had excellent prospects for a long and happy married life. Her stricken husband and baby daughter have the sincerest sympathy of the entire community in their heavy affliction. A short funeral service was held in the home on Friday evening by Rev. H. A. Macpherson. The remains were conveyed to Guelph on Saturday and interment took place in the family plot in the city cemetery on Sunday afternoon. The following gentlemen from Acton acted as the pall-bearers: A. A. Secord, J. B. Wallace, J. A. Henderson, J. C. Dunn, John Warren, jr., J. E. Corry, C. C. Henderson and A. C. Warren. Rev. H. A. Macpherson drove up after his morning service and conducted the funeral rites at Guelph, assisted by Rev. J. A. Ross.
