   On Thursday afternoon, Mrs. John Basham, of the Dawson River, passed quietly away, at the ripe old age of 81 years. The deceased lady was present at the Wesleyan Church, with her husband, on Sunday night, when Mr. E. Basham, their son, conducted the service. Mrs. Basham was a Christian lady of a bright and cheerful disposition, and leaves a husband a few years her senior in age, and several sons and daughters. During their advanced age the deceased and her husband have been most carefully comforted and looked after by Mr. E. Basham, their son and his wife, and occupied a cottage erected for them by that gentleman near his own residence.
