Miss Fanny BREWSTER, one of the oldest residents in West Glassville (Carleton Co.) has just passed to her rest., having reached the advanced age of 88 years. Miss Brewster was a native of County Fermanagh, Ireland, her father renting a farm not far from Lough Erne (Erce). The family was well-to-do and occupied an excellent social position. On the death of Mr. Brewster's landlord, his son and heir refused to renew Mr. Brewster's lease at the old rate. The family then sailed for America landing at St. John and residing at Golden Grove for several years. About 25 years ago, the subject of this notice came with her brother George BREWSTER to West Glassville and continued to live with him and his family on his farm there. After her brother's death she remained on the homestead with his son David BREWSTER, her nephew, and was of great assistance to him and his wife in rearing their numerous family. She continued beneath the roof-tree of her nephew until her death. Miss Brewster was reared in the bosom of the Irish Episcopal Church. She departed this life on Friday eve., 11th in full possession of her bodily and mental faculties to the last. Her remains were followed to the place of interment in Glassville Cemetery on Sunday 13th. (see original for Irish beliefs and favorite songs)
