The Late Mrs.
Reeve
Mrs. John Reeve died about 8:30
Sunday morning at her home on Agriculture street, in her 80th year. Mrs.
Reeve had been ill for about three weeks, but was able to be up and
around, doing some work on Saturday. The end came very suddenly Sunday
morning, just after she had got up.
The deceased, whose maiden name
was Emily Litcher, was born in Cornwall, England, in 1834, and came to
Canada with her parents when a child.
On December 4th 1857, she was
married to Joseph Fettis, who died in 1876, leaving a number of children.
In 1879 she was married to John Reeve, who survives her.
The other
survivors are three brothers: J. C. Litcher, Philadelphia, Pa.; Edward
Litcher, Linsday; W. H. Litcher, Port Perry; two sisters:
Mrs. Nellie
Jones and Mrs. Edward Kicks, both of Toronto.
A son, J. G. Fettis of
Toronto, and a daughter, Mrs. Bronson of Ottawa, also survive.
The funeral took place on
Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, from the family residence, to Oakwood
Cemetery. Rev. A. B. Farney conducted the services, the funeral being in
charge of the Rebeccas.
Among those at the funeral were
Mr. W. H. Litcher, Port Perry;
Mrs. Jones of Toronto; and Mr. Joseph
Fettis and his son Bert,
of Toronto; and Mrs. Bronson of Ottawa.
Mrs. Reeve was a life-long member
of Trinity Church, and although she has not enjoyed good health for a
number of years, her sudden demise came as a shock to her friends and
relatives.
