MRS. ALEX CLEGHORN
The community at Flume Ridge was shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Alex. Cleghorn which occurred at her home at Flume Ridge, Sunday at noon, September 19.
Mrs. Cleghorn had been in poor health for the past three years. Last April she was stricken with a stroke of paralysis from which she never recovered.
She bore her lingering illness very patiently. She is survived by her sorrowing husband, five sons and four daughters, Joseph and George of Flume Ridge, Will and Alexander of St. Stephen, Neil at Lawrence Station, Mrs. Wilbert Johnson at Lawrence, Mrs. Chester Babcock of Newton, Mass., Mrs. Roy Christie of Harvey and Mrs. Fred Milliken, who was with her through her long illness. She was of cheerful disposition always ready to help others and devoted to her home and family. She was a member of the Presbyterian church and had a large circle of friends. The funeral took place from her home Tuesday at 2.30 and was largely attended. The service at the house was conducted by Rev. Wm. Armstrong of Wageig. Her favorite hymns were sung. The flowers were beautiful, including a pillow from the family, also one from her daughter, Mrs. Babcock, whose health prevented her from coming home.
The remains were laid in her last resting place at Brockway cemetery. The pall bearers were her sons, Joseph, George, Will and Alexander. Much sympathy is extended to the bereaved ones in the loss of a kind wife and loving mother.
Mrs. Cleghorn was sixty-five years of age and of her own family a sister and a brother survive. Mrs. George Acheson and Mrs. David Breen bother of St. Stephen.
They had the following children:
50 i. Joseph Wellington "Joe" Cleghorn
51 ii. George Frederick Cleghorn
