Death is sad enough when it separates two who have shared together life's joys and sorrows from youth to old age, but their ambitions have been filled and their separation at most but for a few short years. How bitter though the parting when a husband bids adieu to the young girl he claimed as his happy bride but a brief three months before. Such a trial has fallen the lot of Mr Joseph Blanchfield, of West Osgoode, whose wife died in the Water Street Hospital, Ottawa, on Thursday morning, April 18.

O'Connor, Manotick ; Annie, of Ottawa, and seven brothers, John, Ottawa ; William, Manotick ; Philip and Harry, at home ; Benjamin, Indian Head, Sask. ; Peter, in Vancouver, and Joseph, at Porcupine.
