Born in Thurso, Scotlafd, to her 82nd year. she moved to Montreal caster, Ontario, after her riage to Duncan MeCrimmon. Always a very active woman, Mrs. MeCrimmon lived out many years of her life in Old Ontario, until her husband's death, then she came west, making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Gates, in Dryden. For 9 years, as neighbour, and citizen, she so commended her- self to others as to win their respect and love. A noble wom- an of firm and steadfast prinei- ple, a mother of sterling charac- ter, a citizen always interested in the best things of the com- munity, she lived out her life. She especially loved her Church and all her life was a loyal mem- ber of the Presbyterian and lat- er the United Church of Canada. Confined to her home the last few years, she always kept op- timistie, and believed the "best was vet to be."" Her courage and fortitude enabled her to see beyond the seeming into unseen, she felt her life was not useless and could believe "they also serve who only stand anc wait."' A short service was held at the Undertaker's parlours, on Sunday, September 27th, conduc- ted by her minister, the Rev. J. W. Howes. In his remarks the speaker spoke of the unswerving devotion and Faith of the de- ceased. Like the Apostle Paul, she had fought the fight, finish- ed her course and kept the faith, henceforth there was laid up for Truly such a life ag Mrs. McCrimmon's de- feats death and claims immortal- ity through Jesus Christ. AN that was mortal of this gracious personality was convey- ed: to Lancaster, Ontario, for interment alongside her husband. Dr. and Mes. Dingwall and Rex Gates travelled Eastwards to be present at the funeral.
