Port Rowan
The death of Mrs. Joseph
Russell occurred on Thursday night last, and although anticipated,
it proved a great shock to her family and friends.
Mrs. Russell had been
ailing for about two years, and about a month ago underwent an
operation in the hospital in Toronto. It was found that nothing
could be done to save her life, and returning home, she painfully
lingered until she finally passed away as stated.
The deceased was born in
Walsingham and was 51 years old. Her maiden name was Louise
Brisseau, a daughter of the late Sylvester Brisseau.
She leaves a husband, two
sons and four daughters to mourn her departure. The sons are Lundy
of Chicago
and [Crellen] at home. The daughters are Myrtle,
Mrs. O. Myers of South Walsingham, Beatrice,
Mrs. W. Genereu [sic, Jenereaux]
of Port Rowan,
Pearl and Edna at home. Four brothers and four sisters also live
to mourn her loss.
The funeral was held on
Sunday and interment took place at Port Royal Cemetery. The Rev.
Mr. Schofield officiated.
Mrs. Russell was a member
of the Methodist church, and was very highly respected by every
person who knew her. The family, especially the two young
daughters, have the deepest sympathy of the whole community.
