Mrs. Elizabeth Stacey McCall died at her home in St. Williams on
Saturday (July 8th) after an illness which extended over several
months.
She was a daughter of the late Geo. A. Killmaster, Esq., one of
the prominent men of the past generation, and in her girlhood had
all the social advantages which prominence in a new country can
afford.
She married in early life and took up her residence in St.
Williams, where she has lived a quiet, useful life, without show or
ostentation.
She was an active member and staunch supporter of the Methodist
Church, and her children followed in her footsteps.
One daughter, Miss Edith, survives her, and three sons, Clarence
of Worcester, Rev. F. S. McCall of Alberta College, Edmonton, and
Neil of Los Angeles, Cal.
Messrs. H. J. and C. S. Killmaster of Pt. Rowan are brothers, and
Mrs. Clinton of Vienna and Mrs. Cook of Vancouver are sisters.
The funeral on Tuesday afternoon was very largely attended. The
service was conducted by Rev. A. J. Crighton of Paisley and Miss
Templeton-Armstrong of Port Rowan was very impressive.
No woman could be more honored in her own community that Mrs.
McCall was all her life, and her children were a joy to her.
She was a willing helper in all good works, and a friend and
comforter in sorrow and distress. Her sixty-seven years of life were
not in vain. -- Port Rowan News.
