The
Late Miss Chadwick
A wave of deep sorrow
passed through the village of Colborne on Monday evening, when it
was known that a life-long resident, in the person of Miss Fanny
D. Chadwick, has passed on to receive the reward of a well-rounded
life.
Miss Chadwick was the
daughter of the late Samuel Chadwick and Mary E. Hugo, and was
born on 22 Aug 1852, in the house built by her father, on the
corner next to the Old Windham Church.
Practically her whole life
has been spent in this locality, where her unaffected and friendly
disposition made her a favorite with all.
Death was not unexpected,
as she had been ailing since early spring and during the last few
weeks the decline had been rapid.
The funeral took place on
Wednesday afternoon, the officiating minister being Rev. H. C.
Newcombe of the Simcoe Baptist Church, of which deceased had been
a consistent and much respected member for many years. Interment
in Old Windham Cemetery.
There remains to mourn her
loss one sister, Mrs. Frank L. Collver [sic]of Cherry
Valley Road, and two brothers, Samuel and Ben, both of Simcoe,
besides a number of more distant relatives and a host of friends
whose lives have all been enriched by contact with her cheerful
and contented spirit.
