Inm addition to the bereaved husband, a brother and three sisters survive. The brother is Mr. James Dufly, of Toronto, and the surâ€" viving sisters are Miss A. Duffy and Mrs.«Lafreniere of Toronto and Sister Bertha, of St. Joseph‘s Community, Toâ€" ronto. ‘The lats Mrs. Mulheron s one of the women who pioneered the Porcupine and contributed to its deâ€" velopment and progress in the early days. â€"Innumerable friends here will regret her death, and extend to the bereaved husband and other near reâ€" latives and friends very sincere symâ€" pathy and condolence."
