DIED - At North McGregor, December 1st, 1880, Patrick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Welsh. Aged 8 years.
Last week THE TIMES mentioned the death of an elder son, Johnny. Little Patrick was just recovering from an attack of the same dread disease, diphtheria, and had ran out doors to enjoy the pleasant sunshine; thus exposing himself, he took cold which resulted in membraneous croup, and in spite of the ministrations of loving parents and the physician's skill, the little fellow closed his eyes to this world and joined hands with Johnny over on the other shore.
The stricken family have the condolence of all in their double sorrow.
