It is apparent that the next drainage will cause death, and his friends are dreading the time."

Entered into Rest
Death of Mrs John Rutherford of Tweedside, leaving many mourning friends.
It is with deep regret that the many friends learn of the death of Mrs Rutherford, of Tweedside, York County, which sad event occurred on Saturday last, after an illness of several years duration, although the end came with startling suddenness. The deceased lady was the widow of the late Squire John Rutherford of Tweedside, so well and favourably known both in Fredericton and throughout York County, not only in connection with the municipal Board, with which he was for a number of years connected, but also for the high esteem in which he was held by the community generally. His death occurred in December last. Mrs Rutherford came to this Country with her family from Northumberland County, England, some 64 years ago, when but a child of six years, and settled in Tweedside, when that now fine settlement was an almost unbroken forest. She afterwards became the wife of the late John Rutherford and a family of four sons and two daughters were born to them. Three sons and two daughters remain to mourn their irreparable loss. The late Mrs Rutherford was a kind and loving mother and a sincere Christian lady, and was ever a worthy helpmate for his husband and lived to see great changes in the country of her adoption. The bereaved family have the deepest sympathy of their many friends.
She married John Rutherford, son of James Rutherford & Isabella Russell, 25 Dec 1854. Born 19 Jul 1831 in Eng. Died 21 Dec 1900 in Harvey. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery. Religion Presbyterian.

Dinner was served at three o'clock, the chairman of committee, Mr W. Jurden, presiding, and the vice-chairmen being Mr J. Duncan and R. Craik. After justice had been done to the goods they provided the company adjourned to the green award, where quoiting and other games were engaged in with great spirit. An hour spent in this manner, and the company again assembled to the tent, where the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given and enthusiastically drank. Mr T. H.
