Obituary
- DEATH of Mrs Robert STEWART
- After a lengthy illness, which was so weakening in its effects that death itself was a relief to the sufferer, Mrs Robt. Stewart passed away on Friday evening last, at the early age of 36 years.
- From the sympathy which her long illness has evoked, and the fact that the deceased was connected with two of the largest and most respected families in the community, the funeral procession which escorted her remains to the cemetery on Sunday afternoon was probably one of the most largely attended of any which have ever taken place in Renfrew.
- The deceased leaves a husband and 3 young children to mourn her loss, and they and her bereaved parents -- Mr & Mrs David Airth -- have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.[3]
