March 2, 1928. Some months ago, the deceased underwent an operation at the General Hospital. Toronto, from which her many friends had hoped full recovery would result. For a time apparently there was an improvement and her condition gave promise of their hopes being realized, but alas, they were prone to dissappointment. Since Christmas her friends and loved ones became alarmed at complications that set in but it was only the last few weeks that they realized that but little hope could be entertained for her recovery. She gradually became weaker and weaker until the death angel came with the last summons, and the final spark of life fled in the evening hours of Friday last. The obsequies were conducted by a former pastor, the Rev. H. L. Bennie, B.D.. assisted by Rev. Mr. Walker and Rev. A. E. McLauchlin, B.A., B.D.
