"DEATH.- I am sorry to have to chronicle the death of Mrs. Pettitt, who was much respected by all who knew her. Her demise occurred on Saturday last, and her remains were followed to the grave in Windsor Cemetery on Sunday by a large number of her late friends. She leaves her husband and family of five young children, three of the latter being ill, and one so bad as to have to be removed to the hospital. Great sympathy is felt for Mr. Pettitt in his sad bereavement."
