Our town was greatly shocked on Sunday morning when the news rapidly spread that Mrs. Geo. Reid had died during the night. She was taken with grip several days ago, and later, pneumonia made its appearance, with the above results. Mr. Reid and children have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. There is one little son only seven weeks old.
