Late Mrs. Jas. Misner

Margaret Graham, widow of James W. Misner, passed quietly and peacefully to her eternal rest 28 Jan 1918.

For a period of two months she had been ill, always bearing her suffering [patiently] and never murmuring.

She had reached the advanced age of [84] years.

Deceased was born in the County of Tyrone, Ireland, in 1838, and came to this country with her parents when about 12 years of age, and had been a resident of Norfolk County for over 60 years.

For many years she was a member of St. James Methodist Church in Simcoe, but after moving to Windham about 18 years ago she attended Old Windham Church.

Mrs. Misner was a woman highly loved and respected, her life testifying to God's abiding presence.

Her husband predeceased her five years ago. She was the mother of five sons and five [sic] daughters: 
Frank and Graham of Windham; 
Alfred of Springport, Michigan; 
David of Villa Nova; James of Woodhouse; 
Mrs. Robert Smith of Villa Nova; 
Mrs. Archie Everett of Simcoe; 
and Misses Carrie and Lena at home.

She is also survived by two brothers, James and David Graham of Inglewood, Ontario, as well as 19 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
