six months. From Princeton the family moved onto the place known as the
McDougall farm in Milo, and in 1879 settled  on a homestead in section
22, town of Milo. There they resided many years and kept a stopping
place for the accommodation of men engaged in the lumber business. The
boys engaged in the pineries and on the river were always pleased to
stop over night with Uncle Chisholm and partake of a meal of Mrs.
Chisholm's cooking. She was, indeed, a hospitable, motherly woman and
was held in affectionate regard by all who knew her.
	Since 1893 Mrs. Chisholm had made her home with her daughter, Mrs
George H. Deans at Foreston. She is survived by six children, viz., D.G.
Chisholm, Wenatchee, Wash.; wm. A. Chisholm, Haven; Mrs. George H.

intensely during her long periond of illness, but notwithstanding this
she was always of a cheerful, kindly disposition--a woman whom it was a
pleasure to become acquainted with.
	The children and other relatives are very grateful to the kind 
friends who assisted in the last illness and burial of Ms. Chisholm, 
also for the eautiful floral tributes that were so generously bestowed, 
and they expecially appreciated the kindness of Messrs. Ewing and Davis, 
Mrs. Claire Caley and Mrs. L.S. Briggs for the song service at the 
cemetery.
