Mrs. Peter O’Neil‘s death, which occurred on January 26th and was briefly sketched by the Editor in the last issue of The Chronicle. marked the passing on of one of the finest types of pioneer mothers. Coming as a bride from Paris, when but eighteen years of age, she ex- perienced all the drawbacks and hardships of those early days. But she was a woman of industry, un- tiring, gifted with more than or- dinary skill, undaunted courage and a will to succeed. She and her hus- band won out nobly and reared a most successful, progressive family. She was a leader in all the activx- ties of her church and much of the success of the monster picnics that used to he held at Irish Lake. were due to her Splendid work and en-; thusiasm. The home had a reputa- ‘ tion for unstinled lwspitality. The funeral took place to St. John's on the following Thursady morning and despite drifted roads and a frigid morning, a big crowd gatl‘ier- ed to show their esteem and respect Father McGeoy conducted a most solemn Requiem Mass and the 81113 ing bV' the choi1 was tenderly sweet and comforting, after which the sacred remains were laid to rest beside that. of her husband.
