A fall last September dislocated both shoulders and she was bedfast for several weeks but had fully recovered. With her eldest daughter, Martha, Mrs. Samuel, who has tenderly cared for her since September, she went to visit at Morrison's on Monday, April 30, 1951, from where they visited the home of her late son, William, the following Thursday, and had intended going to Graham's the next week. She hoped to make further visits and planned to go to Toronto later to visit her sister, Kate, who is not in good health.
On Sunday, May 6th she was in her usual strength and good spirits, and enjoyed having several visitors, including four of her 13 great grandchildren, all of whom she particularly loved but Monday morning she did no feel well and the doctor was called and found her weakening. She steadily became worse until Wednesday evening when she passed quietly and peacefully away to her reward.
She was greatly loved by all who knew her, to many of whom she had often proved a friend indeed.
To mourn the loss of a loving mother and grandmother, she leaves her family, Martha, Mrs. W. G. Samuel; Cassie, Mrs. A. C. Morrison; George; Gertie, Mrs. Stanley Herriot; Stanley; Edwin and Florence, Mrs. Alex Graham; 19 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren, also five sisters, Kate, Mrs. Hay and Maude, Mrs. Standeaven, both of Toronto; Bertha, Mrs. Hugh McDonald, Innisfree, Alta.; Mae, Mrs. Alan Butler, Clifford and Mabel, Mrs. Rus. Magee, London, and four brothers, Emery and Stanley, London; Dan, of Kelowna, B.C., and Finlay of Buffalo, N.Y.
The funeral was held on Saturday, May 12th, from her late home, that of her son, Stanley, where a private service was held, thence to Knox Presbyterian Church, Conn, of which she had been a long-life member, with her minister, Rev. M. McNabb officiating. The choir sang Good Night and Good Morning. Friends were present from Clifford, London, Buffalo, Toronto, Midland, Orono, Roseneath, Hampton, Bowmanville, Fergus, Ennotville, Rothsay, Palmerston, Holstein, Tavistock and Brampton.
The many beautiful floral tributes were carred by her seven grandsons and three of her granddaughters, namely Perry Samuel, Alvin, Jack, Clifford, Gordon and Bobby Adams and Clarence Morrison, Gladys Adams, Winona Herriot and Elda (Graham) Stockdale.
Pallbearers were Talbert and George Ferguson, Tom Smith, Norman Moore, Wes. Small and Archie Officer. Interment was made in family plot in Mount Forest Cemetery. Mount Forest Confederate, May 24, 1951.
