THE CHARLOTTETOWN HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1883

DEATH: GILLIS - At Hay River, on the 14th ult., Isabella Gillis, aged 88 years. The deceased was the niece of the late beloved Bishop McEachren, and was an especial favorite of the Reverend prelate while he lived. She was a woman of marked intelligence, a cogent reasoner, and of rare conversational powers, endowed with a religious ardor characteristic of her venerable Uncle. Her remains were interred in St. Margaret's cemetery, followed by numerous sorrowing friends, and there laid beside her husband, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.
