A YOUNG LIFE TAKE Seldom has Port Perry suffered the loss of a brighter or more promising young life than that of the late Miss . Elsie Somerville, who passed away after a brief illness on Eriday last. Miss Somerville was a general favor- ite among the young people, was a student at the High Schol, a member of the*Methodist Church, took part in the work of the choir and Sunday School. The very large attendance at the funeral services which were conduct- ed by Rev. W. D. Harrison, on Sun- day afternoon, gave very clear evi- dence of the high esteem in which deceased was held. Some hundreds of people attended the funeral. In addition to floral tributes from the family and personal friends, beauti- ful wreaths were sent by the Boy Scouts, Methodist Choir, the High School, the Sunday School class of which she was a member, a number of girls in the Telephone office and Beare Bros.
