Primeau and Romeo Primeau, all in Cornwall; and Rev. Sister Primeau of the Congregation de Notre Dame, Point St. Charles, Montreal.  She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Donat Paradis, Montreal; and Mrs. Ovila Dumouchele, Valleyfield.  The funeral was held this morning from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Boulay, 18 Bergin Avenue, to Nativity Church, where Requiem High Mass was sung by Rev. Duncan McDonald.  The body was taken to Valleyfield for interment, leaving on the Moccasin train.  Members of the family and relatives accompanied the body.  Pall bearers were David Primeau, Joseph Dumond, Joseph Piquette, Ovila Dumouchele, Mesphore Villeneuve and Roy Dawson.  Many mass cards, spiritual offerings and beautiful floral tributes were sent by relatives and sorrowing friends.  The family received many messages of sympathy.
