Mrs. Thomas Gordon died at
her home in this village on Thursday of last week at the age of 71
years.
She had been in rather poor
health for some time, but her death was not expected so suddenly.
Deceased was a daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bantam and upon her marriage to the late
Thomas Gordon settled in this village where, with the exception of a
brief period, the years of her happy married life were spent.
She is survived by two sons
and three daughters: W. C. Gordon, mining engineer, of Iron
Mountain, Mich.; George Gordon
of Detroit; Mrs. Annie Gordon at
home;
Mrs. Jas. Woodward of [Macree], Sask.;
and Mrs. A. D. Williams
of Toledo, Ohio.
The funeral was held from
the home on Sunday, when a large number of people gathered to show
their respect for the deceased and their sympathy for the bereaved
family.
The Rev. J. A. Bloodworth
assisted in the services, which were conducted by the
Rev. J. M. Smith, pastor of the Baptist Church, of which Mrs. Gordon
was an
old and consistent member.
Interment took place in
Bayview Cemetery.
