(Too late for last week)
It is with feelings of
deepest sorrow that we have to chronicle the death of a highly
esteemed citizen in
the person of Mrs. Calvin Burger.
She had been in delicate
health for the past six years,
a part of which time she was a great sufferer, and for
the past two years had been unable to walk.
She was a member of the
Methodist Church since girlhood, and when health permitted was
active in
all church work.
Deceased was 48 years of age
and leaves to mourn
her loss a husband and two sons.
A little daughter predeceased her several years ago.
What made her death more sad
is the fact that Mr. Burger is suffering from nervous prostration,
and was unable to attend the bedside of his wife in her last
hours.
He is at present in Brantford under the care of
a nurse and doctor.
The funeral was held on
Friday last from the home of her sister, Mrs. Edwin Ostrosser, who
has cared for her in the last few months. The sorrowing relatives
have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.

21 Feb, too late for last week, 14 Feb, when the funeral was Friday
last -- so we assume funeral was 8 Feb 1918]
