Obituary Notice of John Jeffrey, Balsusncy. By C, Howie, 

 St Andrews. 



John Jeffrey, Balsusney, Kirkcaldy, along with his brothers, 

 succeeded to an extensive linen manufacturing business, car- 

 ried on by their father in Kirkcaldy and the west of Scot- 

 land. The brothers, following the same honest persevering 

 habits and strict attention to business, extended their trade 

 over many countries. The department at Kirkcaldy was 

 allotted to John, and of late years it has been much extended. 



As a relief from the constant routine of an industrious 

 life, he betook himself to the culture of trees and shrubs.
