Mrs. Dave Genoe Passes (By Eugenia Reporter) We are very sorry to report the sudden passing of the late Mrs. David Genoe, who was a highly esteemed and well known resident of this com- munity. She had been troubled with a diabetic condition for about four years and a couple of weeks before Christmas suffered an attack of the 'flu. Together with the after effects of the 'flu and the diabetis, her con- dition became worse but was not thought to be serious. On Sunday, she was taken to Markdale Hospital, where she passed away on Wednes- day morning about 5.30 o'clock. The remains rested in Richards' Funeral Home until the funeral. The late Mrs. Genoe, whose maiden name was Mary Dorothy Jamieson, was one at a family of eight born to the late Mr. and Mrs. John K. Jamie- son, on the gth line. She spent most of her girlhood days in this commun- ity with the exception of a few years in Toronto. She will be greatly miss- ed by her many friends. On February 04, 1914, she was mar- ried in Toronto to Mr. David H. Genoe of this vicinity. After their marriage they resided on the 8th line for two years, then moved to Mark- dale, where they spent one year.
