Mrs. Mountjoy, the former Vera May Slemon, the daughter of the late Thomas Slemon and Elizabeth Stacey of Hayden was born July 28, 1888. On October 29, 1930 she and Lorenzo Mountjoy were united in marriage at the home of her parents with the Reverend J.R. Trumpour of Tyrone, officiating at the ceremony. She came, as bride, to the Mountjoy family farm at Nestleton, where she and her husband had a happy, successful life until his death in 1963. For the past fifteen years she has continued to live alone at the farm. Left to mourn her passing' are two nephews Tom Briggs of Kitchener; Bill Briggs of Markham; two nieces, Mrs. Murray Coates, R.R. Port Perry; and Mrs.Merlin Suggitt of R.R. Nestleton; two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Cecil Slemon, Mrs. Charles Briggs and a brother in law, Mr. Clarence Mountjoy. Two sisters "and 'a brother are pre-deceased. The late Vera Mountjoy was a good friend and neigh- bour and is sadly missed by all. She never complained and had a cheerful outgoing personality. In her younger days she was an accom- plished elocutionist, at- tended Hayden -United Church and assisted in the Sunday School as a teacher. When she came to Nestle- ton she was a valued member of the Presbyterian Church. One of the high- lights of her life was her ninetieth birthday party on July 28, 1978 when the Ladies Aid sponsored a party and all sang "Happy Birthday" when she cut the cake. In the passing of Vera Mount- Cartwright has lost one of its most honoured senior citizens. It would be remiss not to mention her faithful and kind neighbours Mr. and Mrs. Howard Lee and Clifford who were truly her Good Samaritans. The complete funeral service was Thursday, December 28, from McDer- mott - Panabaker Funeral Chapel, Port Perry with the Reverend Stuart McEntyre speaking comforting words in the Union Cemetery. Interment will be Cadmus. ECTS CAEP DRA LA NE Scugog Island news by Mrs. Earl Reader Mr. and Mrs. Roy Free- man and Randy have re- turned after a vacation in Florida.
