Suffering a lengthy illness and being aware of her condition and evitable death, she was resigned to the will of God, having absolute faith in his ultimate mercy and justice. A devout member of the parish of the Most Holy Redeemer, her faith and piety was well known to her many friends as well as to the rector and clergy who were in frequent attendance during her illness. Left to mourn a loving and saintly wife and mother are: Reginald, Elliott, Augustine and Gerald, now in Ontario, who were home to visit their mother just previous to her death; five children at home, Pius, Letitia, Margaret Rose, John and David; another daughter, Arvella (Mrs. George Pineau) of Toronto, flew home to be at her mother's bedside, a month previous to her passing. Formerly Mary Madeleine Peters of Oyster Bed Bridge, she is also survived by three sisters, Mrs. Charles McDonald, Charlottetown, Mrs. Richard Cullen, Morell, and Mrs. Edward Cormier, Brantford, Ont. The funeral was held from her late residence on Friday, Feb. 9th, to the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, thence to the Roman Catholic Cemetery. The many Mass offerings, spiritual bouquets, flowers and cards testified to her popularity among her friends. She will be fondly remembered by all.
