Mrs. Strout, wife of Sherman
Strout, manager of the Delhi canning factory, died at her home in Delhi
Sunday morning.
She had been ill only a few days
and the news of her death cast a gloom over the town, where she had many
warm friends.
The late Mrs. Strout was 36
years of age and leaves a husband and two children, Helen and Carmen,
who have the deepest sympathy of their many friends.
Mrs. Strout was very active in
the Women's Institute and Tuesday afternoon 50 ladies of the Institute
attended the funeral in a body, to pay a final tribute of respect [to]
one they so highly esteemed.
The
services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Carpenter of Delhi, assisted by Rev.
Mr. Gordon of Brantford, amid every sign of regret and sympathy. The
ministers dwelt upon the many virtues of the deceased lady, and
especially upon her many acts of kindness.
The
large home was filled with relatives and friends assembled to pay their
last respects to the deceased. Among the mourners were the husband,
daughter Helen and son Carmen, father, Mr. Jull, two sisters, Miss
Florence and Miss Mildred Jull, and two brothers, Rev. Mr. Jull and
Anson Jull.
The floral offerings were most
beautiful and abundant. Interment was made in the Delhi Cemetery. The
pall-bearers were Messrs.
A. E. Steele, W. D. Barnes, David Bertling, A. R. Hargrave, W. E.
Sutherland and
Fred Stipe.
