MacLEAN (Spears), Florence M. - February 14, 1921
The sad death occured on February 14 at her home in Lewis, Lot 60, of Mrs. Florence M. McLean, beloved wife of Mr. James McLean formerly of Inverness-shire, Scotland.  Mrs. McLean had been stricken ill following news of the death of her son, Basil, age 19 on September 1st, 1918, at the front, just before the Armistice was signed.  The shock of the sad news caused blindness and a feeling of melancholy from which she never recovered.  The late Mrs. McLean was a granddaughter of the late Donald Livingstone, school master of Murray Harbor.  She moved with her husband and family to the province from Halifax last August and it was hoped that the climate here would have a beneficial effect upon her health.  Mr. McLean's sister Mrs. Pearson, came out from Glasgow in June to nurse her sister-in-law, but all that human love and care could do were unavailing.  The late Mrs. McLean was thirty nine years of age and leaves to mourn besides her husband, two daughters, Catherine Jane, ten years and Mary Ellen, seven years.  Though comparitively strangers in the community, the family had made many warm friends in the neighborhood among whom the late Mrs. McLean was much respected for her kind disposition and Christian character.  All that neighbors could do was done to assist with sympathy and affection the family in their time of sorrow.  The funeral which was largely attended by the farmers of the community, was conducted by Rev. Mr. McLellan, of Valleyfield.  Interment was made in Caledonia Cemetery on February 21st.  The bereaved husband and father will have the sympathy of all in his sad loss.
