At Port Ryerse in the
early morning of June 27 there passed away a good woman in the person of
Mrs. Brownlee, wife of the late Edward Brownlee, in the 77th year of her
age. Many years ago she and her husband became residents of Port Ryerse,
wher the most of her active life was spent.
Of many bright traits
possessed by her, firmness and determination shone prominently. Perhaps,
though, the controlling influence of her life was a spirit of helpfulness
and a strong desire to minister to the happiness of others.
She had few
equals in this respect, for where there was sickness or death there she
was to be found night or day whenever called upon, or when she thought her
services would be of assistance to those in trouble. Many there are who
will cherish kind remembrance of her in this respect.
At the time of her
passing away and for many years previous she was a member of Vittoria
Baptist Church.
Not only will she be
deeply mourned by the close relatives who survive her, but her loss will
be keenly felt by the many friends with who she associated.
On June 29, a most
beautiful day, loving friends laid her remains beside those of her husband
in the cemetery of the Methodist Church at
Woodhouse.
