An
old and very greatly esteemed resident of Simcoe passed away on
Thursday morning of last week in the person of Mrs. Augustus Wilson.
It must be over forty years
since Mrs. Wilson, then Miss Gibson, came to Simcoe to manage the
millinery department in the store of the late Mr. William Wilson.
Soon afterwards she became
the wife of Mr. Wilson's brother and together they journeyed happily
down life's pathway until some three years ago, when the husband was
called by death.
The funeral of the deceased
lady took place to the cemetery at St. John's Church, Woodhouse, on
Saturday afternoon.
The services were conducted
by Rev. A. B. Farney
of Simcoe and Rev. T. L. Armstrong of Delhi.
The pall-bearers were: Geo.
McKiee, J. B. Jackson,
W. Y. Wallace, W. P. Price, D. Matthews, and
Andrew McKnight.
