Mrs.
John Loftus, an old and highly respected resident of Windham, was
called to her reward on Friday morning, May 12th, at the ripe old
age of 78 years.
Mrs. Loftus was
been seriously ill for the past three weeks, which was borne with
Christian patience.
This is the
third death in the Loftus family in three years -- three years ago
her aged husband, last year the youngest son Joseph, and now the
mother.
The
funeral took place on Monday morning from her late residence to the
Roman Catholic church at LaSalette, of which the deceased has been
an ardent member of over 60 years.
High
mass was celebrated for the repose of her soul by Rev. Fr. Brennan.
There
is left to mourn the death of a loving mother, four sons and one
daughter: William of St. Thomas, John of Niagara Falls, Jarus and
Michael at home; and Mrs. Frank McNally of Otterville.
The
family have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
