InlovngLmf&moi'y of Mrs. Robert iMontietli, Pioneer of Thames
s-JBM-drTIsboriie, Huron County, Charter member and Life Member
of Thames Road Women’s Missionary Society.
A woman with contentment blest;
Full of good-will and kindly jest;
Her social interest gave life zest.
When we were children coming from school,
■Sometimes we called for yeast or spool;
■She gave what we needed:-—That was her rule.
She’d shake the jar, -how the gas did fly
Then the yeast foamed out—a treat to the eye,
Assurance of - good bread, bye and bye.
With the children about her she’d sit in her cha
Never too -busy our joys to share;
And pleasantly ask how our folks did fare.
It was her delight on Sabbath Day, , fTo meet with God’s people, to praise and to pray;/
And hear what the man of God would say. /
To study God’s Word was her daily pleasure;
His precepts and truths were her treasure;
Simple faith in her Saviour gave joy without measure.
Oft’ was she seen on W> M. S', day,
Driving her double buggy, happy and gay.
■Calling for ladies along the way.
Her home she managed with care and frugality,
Mingled with grace and rare liberality,
Making it a place of fine hospitality.
Of her four eldest children she was bereft,
Heroically she carried on for the three that were left,
No useless repining, though her heart was cleft. ”
When war was proclaimed in 1914,
Although almost four-score years she’d seen,
She started to work with determination keen,
If the boys of Canada are doing their bit,
I’ll do all I can*that their feet may be fit,
So:—socks, two hundred and forty-five pairs she knit,
Every pair well-made and good fitting;
Each hour she could spare knitting, knitting,
Year after year at the window sitting.
With love for our Country and love for our boys,
That homes hewn from tlie forest we still might enjoy,
Spurred her on each moment her hands to employ.
The war won, her hands too tired for yarn;
To knit fancy lace now would do no harm,
So;—to scores of pillows her lace adds charm.
Liberal in politics, liberal in mind;
With Church Union no fault could .she- 'find,-
When Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational combined.
In September, 1931, we laid her to rest;
A sprig of heather upon her breast;
Beloved pioneer-—faithful to the last.
