Fisher, Death of Mrs. Geo. Easterbrook The death of Mrs. George Easter­ brook came as a sudden and terrible shock on .Saturday morning to her many friends and neighbors and thus thefold adage “In the midst of Life We are in Death” was truly verified in the above death. Although not enjoying the best of health for several weeks, deceas­ ed was not confined to her bed, but was up and around every day and had never complained of feeling any worse than usual. On Friday even­ ing the family had retired as usual about 10 p.m. but her husband heard her deep breathing and called their daughter, Miss Phoebe. Dr. Weekes, theii’ physician was called and he pronounced it a heart attack and at 12.15 she passed away. Her end was peaceful and happy and it must be a comfort and con­ solation to the loved ones remain­ ing to know that her Christian life, coupled with her kinaness of heart and generosity* to all with whom she came in contact, have universally endeared her to so many and thro’ the merits of a loving Saviour she has reached the golden throne above Deceased, whose maiden name was Mary Elizabeth Sweet, was a daugh­ ter of the late William and Phoebe •Sweet and was in her 73rd year. Fifty-four years ago she was united in marriage to her now bereft hus­ band and for three years resided in Burlington, afterwards coming to Exeter where she has since resided. To this happy union were born five children, four daughters and, one son (two daughters .Mrs. Quail and Miss Mammie and son Clarence, having predeceased their mother several years ago). In the years of their married life Mrs, Easterbrook had been a devoted and attentive mother to her children and her whole life centred around her home, her husband and her family. Shei was of a quiet and retiring nature, but was always a true friend and a kind and thoughtful neighbor and will be greatly missed by her many friends. Deceased was a member of James iStreet United church. Be­ sides her husband, she leaves two daughters, Mrs. Frank Lee, Thorn­ dale and Miss Phoebe at home, be­ sides several grandchildren and one great grandchild. To the sorrowing loved ones we extend our sympathy in this their hour of sorrow and bereavement. The floral offerings were a fitting tribute to the love and affection held for the deceased. The funeral, though private, was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing rela­ tives and friends who gathered to pay their last respects to a true friend and loving neighbor. The fu­ neral was held Tuesday to the Exe­ ter r cemetery, Rev. Mr. Page offic­ iating, Mr. Frank Taylor sang “The City Four Square” with much feel­ ing. The pallbearers were Messrs. Sid.
