Soon after their marriage, they moved to Waterford, where they have since resided. Mrs. Pursel, with her husband, was baptized by the late Elder Slaght, and united with the Baptist church here, of which she remained a faithful and devoted member till her death.
Her funeral, which took place on Saturday, 10th, was largely attended, showing the esteem in which she was held. The services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Murdoch and her sons acted as pallbearers. The flowers-pillows and wreaths of white chrysanthemums and white roses-were very beautiful.
