A very sad death came
to this neighborhood on Thursday, that of Mrs. Alice Howick Cope, wife
of Mr. Daniel Cope.
Snatched almost suddenly from a home that idolized
her -- from her husband and his almost saddened parents, from her own
parents and large family of brothers and sisters, who went almost wild
with grief at this first break in their affectionate home circle, from
the whole neighborhood in fact, for her death has caused universal
regret.
Everyone that had any knowledge of Mrs. Cope both loved
and respected her, and the saddest of all funerals was that at the
Forestville Baptist church on Sunday, where no eyes were dry and where
strong men wept as they looked for the last time at the sweet mother and
her beautiful babe sleeping their long sleep.
Mrs. Cope was a thoroughly
consistent member of the Baptist church. The interment took place at the
Centre.

On Tuesday
evening Mrs. Milton Woodward received a telegram stating the death of
her grandmother, Mrs. Fero. She was a sister of Uncle Fred Cope.
She was
born on the old Cope farm 82 years ago, spent the early part of her life
here, and removed with her husband and family to Michigan probably 20
years ago.
While here she was held in the highest respect as a
Christian
friend and kind neighbor. -- Port Rowan News.
