Funeral of
Mrs. I. E. York
The funeral of Mrs. I. E.
York was held from her late residence on Friday afternoon when a
large concourse of friends gathered to pay the last respects to one
who was held in the highest esteem in the entire community. The
services were conducted by Rev. J. D. MacLachlan, pastor of the
Baptist Church, of which Mrs. York had long been an active and most
faithful member.
The pastor paid tribute to
the life of service in the home, community and church, where Mrs.
York's loving, wise and gracious ministry will be greatly missed.
Such a spirit of unselfish service cannot die with the passing of
the body, but lives on in ministry.
Wonderful flowers told of
the affection of many friends and surrounded by these, the
remains were borne to the York Museleum in Greenwood Cemetery and
placed beside her son, Dr. Howard, who predeceased her some four
years ago.
Assisting at the service
were Revs. J. B. Moore, Ward and Rickard. A quartette sang
unaccompanied 'Sleep thy last sleep' and Mr. T. C. Savage sang
impressively 'No Night There.' The bearers were Messrs. Gordon
Duncombe, Harold Squire, H. A. Sanderson, L. E. Kidder, D. A. Hill
and Dr. McGuire.
