Lady Laid to Rest in Oakwood
Our
Colborne correspondent writes:
News
was received early Sunday morning of the sudden death of Miss Ida Ker,
elder sister of Mrs. Delbert Woolley at the home of Mr. G. McCormick of
London, where she had resided for years.
Miss
Ker was apparently in the best of health, after a delightful summer
trip, until the middle of last week, when medical attendance was deemed
advisable.
The doctors
verdict was heart trouble of a very serious nature, but it was not
expected that the end would come so soon.
Sunday
morning Mrs. McCormick found her as she thought sleeping quietly, but it
proved to be the sleep that knows no awakening.
Miss
Ker was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ker of Guelph, and
leaves two sisters, Mrs. Delbert Woolley of this village, and Miss Emma
Ker of Hamilton, and two brothers in California, to mourn the loss of a
capable, large-hearted, dependable woman, whom everybody respected and
admired, and of whom it has been said: "She has lived in our home
for seventeen years and we have never seen her angry."
During
her visits to Colborne, Miss Ker endeared herself to all with whom she
came in contact and the news of her sudden call came as a great shock to
the community.
The
remains were brought to Mr. Woolley's home on the Wabash train on Sunday
morning, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. McCormick and other friends and the
funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. The services
were conducted by Rev. Mr. McBain, assisted by Rev. Mr. Graham.
Interment took place at Oakwood Cemetery.
