Orangeville Sun - May 21, 1900 - Page 3, column 1 - REBECCA JANE LITTLE BAREFOOT: In January last, Mrs. John Barefoot left the town to join her family who had removed to Toronto leaving Mr. Barefoot here, he intending to go to the city when some work undertaken was completed. 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. The deceased was very well known throughout this section and was respected by a wide circle of acquaintances. Mr. George Little of Mono is a brother of the deceased and Mr. Wm. Little a half-brother. Mrs. Carson of Ottawa, Mrs. M. Wilkins of Orangeville, Mrs. Carson of Meaford and Mrs. Wm. Jackson of Mono are half sisters. Besides a husband she leaves four sons and three daughters. The remains were brought to Orangeville Tuesday morning and after services at St. Mark's Church were interred in Greenwood cemetery. The funeral was very largely attended. Children: 1.
