Funeral service was held at the Anglican Church on Saturday at 2 o'clock. The church and grounds were filled with friends who came many miles to attend. Two favourite hymns, "In The Garden" and "Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling" were sympathetically rendered by friends from the East Dalhousie Choir. In the home where she was always the centre, the loss will be felt the most keenly. We comment them to the God who "doeth all things well." The beautiful flowers spoke their message.²
