Belts Died Suddenly Id t lesherton This community was shocked and saddened on Thursday afternoon, Dec. 3rd, li)3(j, by the sudden passing of Mrs. Thomas Belts, a well known and highly esteemed resident of Belts' Corners, in Artemesia township, two miles east of Flesherton. Mrs. Belts wa.s enjoying her us- ual g'ood health and had gone into town with her youngest daughter, Miss Mabel Bella. She had attend- ed some business and then had gone to the office of the Flesherton Ad- vance to give the paper details of the death of her brother, William Alexander Gilliland. who passed away on November I'j at Edmonton. While in the Advance office she was strick- en with a weak spell. Kind friends rushed to her side and medical aid Was summoned and everything was done to spare her life, but she passed peacefully away in a few minutes. The late Mrs. Belts was 66 years of age and was a native of Eugenia, her maiden name was Louisa .Adeline Gilliland, she was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Gilliland. The deceased was of a very bright and cheerful disposition, which won her many friends. She was a devoted wife and mother and a kind neighbor and her presence in the community will be greatly miss- ed, and her family cherish and bless the memory of a good Christian mother. Forty-four years ago she was un- ited in marriage to Thomas Belts and since that trn*e had resided at Bett's Comers. Besides her sorrowing husband she leaves to mourn her passing three sons, Edgar of Osprey township and Herb and Frank, Artemesia, and four daughters, Annie, (Mrs. W. Newell); Reta, (Mrs. Chas. Newell), both of Ar- temesia, and Edith and Miabel at home; one brother, Thos. Gilliland of Eugenia also survives. Another brother William Alexander, passed away at Eklmonton two weeks ago, and two sisters, Mrs. John Hargrave of Artemesia and Mrs. John Stuart of Powassan predeceased her. The funeral which was very largely attended was held on Saturday after- noon with a short service at the house and a public service was held in the United Church at Eugenia, conducted by Rev. F. Dean of Feversham and Rev. Mr. Mills of Markdale who spoke of the high Christian ideals, and of the motherly love and hospitality of the deceased. Interment took place in Salem cem- etery and around Ihe graveside as the casket was silently lowered they sang softly her favourite hymn: When my life work is ended And I cross the swelling tide. When the bright and glorious morn- ing I shall see, I shall know my Redeemer When I reach the other side, And his smile will be the first to welcome me. The floral offerings included a pil- low from the family, a spray from Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Belts, a spray fi-om Mr. and Mrs. William Hawkins and family. The pallbearers were six nephews: Cecil and Laurie Belts, Fred Har- grave, Keith Robertson, Joyce Port- ecus and Lorne Atkinson. Many friends from a distance at- tended the funeral.
