Death of
Gladys Goold
Vanessa, 10 Sep 1921 -- A
gloom came over our village on Saturday morning at 9.30, when the
death angel came and took in his arms the dear life of Gladys Aileen
Goold, eldest daughter of Edward and Della Goold. Her death came
very suddenly as she had only been home from Buffalo six weeks.
She leaves to mourn their
loss, her parents, one brother, Harold, two sisters, Lela and Elda.
The funeral service was conducted on Sunday afternoon on the
Methodist Church lawn, by Rev. J. E. Mitchell, who took for his
text, the 23rd Psalm. A large number gathered to pay their last
respects, and look on the girl who lay cold in her casket.
Gladys had died as she
lived, very peacefully and quietly. She had always lived a Christian
life and became a member of the First Baptist Church, Brantford, and
was baptized by the Rev. Llewellyn Brown at the age of 15.
The numerous and beautiful
floral tributes were from:
