Details:
It is our painful duty to have to record the decease of Mrs. Whyte, relict of our late respected townsman, Mr. William Henry Whyte, which occurred at her late residence, Watt-street, yesterday afternoon. Up to the death of her husband Mrs. Whyte, we may say, enjoyed very good health, but on losing him she grieved a great deal, and though she suffered a severe illness, there is no doubt that grief at the loss of her life s partner hastened the termination of her existence. By the death of Mrs. Whyte there has departed from amongst us a most estimable woman; one whose amiable and benevolent disposition endeared her to all who knew her. Her unostentatious mode of life rendered her comparatively unknown to the many, but. among those who knew her well, those generous traits of character were fully recognised and admired. Many who have gone before her, had they survived, could have testified to her many deeds of charity, manifested in such a manner as to impart to her acts of mercy that spirit of grace which alleviates while it relieves human suffering.
