When Mrs. Barefoot left town she was in poor health but after a short residence in the city, health and strength returned. Saturday night she and her family sat up unusually late and she was in a very happy frame of mind relating some humorous incidents that had occurred during the day. In the morning her eldest daughter Tilley walked into the room and saw her mother lying as she supposed in a sound sleep and not wishing to awaken her, left the room. A few hours afterward she again entered the room and on closer observation was shocked to find the mother cold to death. The deceased was 49 years of age and was a daughter of the late George Little of Mono. She was born on Lot 5 Centre Road. She also lived in Caledon and East Garafraxa townships. Mr. Barefoot had returned a few days before from the city and was expecting his wife up this week and when the news of her death reached him he was almost prostrated.
