A
sad break was made in the home of Mr. Albert Corlis of Rockford by
the death of his wife on Sunday evening, Jan. 9th.
Mrs.
Corlis had not been well for some time and the week previous to her
death was seized with an acute attack of pneumonia. Medical aid was
constantly in attendance and kind relatives and friends did all in
their power, but all in vain.
Mrs.
Corlis had always lived in the Township of Townsend and by her
christian character and amiable disposition had won for herself many
friends.
Her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. McDonald, and her brother Mr. Charles McDonald are
now residents of Waterford. Mrs. Hendershott of Walsh, and Mrs. Hayward
of Berlin are sisters of the deceased.
The
funeral took place on Tuesday, Jan. 11th, when a large number of
sorrowing relatives and friends gathered at pay a last tribute to
the departed. The service was conducted at the house by Rev. M. C.
Peart after which the remains were interred in the cemetery at Waterford.
Mr.
Corlis and the bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire
community in this, their time of deepest sorrow.
