G. HUTCHESON, Manager. Mrs. C. L. Vickery After a very trying illness of some ten months duration, there passed away on Saturday, September 1, 1917, at her home in Port Perry, Esther Emma Warkup, beloved wife of Mr C L Vickery. The deceased had been in delicate health for some years, but bravely kept the knowledge of it to herself, till finally she had to submit to the increasing power of her malady, passing through intense suffering until within a few days of her death. In her life were two outstanding characteristics--she was an ideal wife and mother. Her home was her kingdom, her husband her consort,and her children gifts from God. Never| doing things by halves, she carried out these great responsibilities in the full- est sense of the word, thus fulfilling her mission in life. It has been the writer's privilege to have an intimatc knowledge of her family life and to note the splendid feelings of love and unity in the family circle, thus proving that the seed sown by the deceased in her home has borne good fruit. Besides her devoted husband she leaves a family of one son and three daughters--Lieut. C. Vicke.y, over- seas; Mrs. (Dr) E. S. Baker, Hali- burton; Mrs I. E Dobson, Toronto; and Miss 'Beatrice Vickery, of the Permanent Educational Staff, Toronto; --are left to mourn the loss of a wife] and mother so worthy of their love and devotion, The funeral took place on Tuesday, September 4, and was largely attended, several members of the board of the Methodist Church being present, of which church Mrs Vickery was an adherent.
