Harvey Station, Nov 29 -- Letters have been received here from Vancouver telling of the death of Mrs Catherine Coburn, wife of Thomas Coburn, which occurred there on November 18. She was a native of Harvey and was a daughter of Andrew Atcheson, one of the pioneers of the settlement. She was in the seventy-fourth year of her age. She formerly resided at Manners Sutton, where her husband carried on a general store, but they went to Houlton about twenty-five years ago and a few years afterwards went to British Columbia. She is survived by her husband, one son and one daughter, also by two sisters, Mrs John Piercy of Comox, BC, and Mrs Ellen McCullough, residing here. Many of the older residents here remember her very well and esteemed her highly.
