The funeral and interment
service for the late Con
stance Elizabeth (Marley)
Kilmer, widow of Louis A.
Kilmer, was held at the
Haskett Funeral Home on
Saturday afternoon with the
Rev. Keith Brown of Lucan
United Church officiating.
Mrs. Kilmer was a long
time resident of this area,
residing with her husband on
their farm on the 2nd con. of
McGillivray twp. for many ,
years. Following their
retirement they lived in
Lucan on Lewis Street,
before moving to
Thamesford for a few years.
However, as their hearts
were in this community, they
acquired a home at the
corner of Richmond and
Main Streets where they
resided until the death of Mr.
Kilmer in 1968.
Mrs. Kilmer sold her home
and moved to London to live
with her daughter and son-
in-law, Mr. & Mrs. John
Houston and their family.
Five years ago when Mr.
Houston was transferred to
Toronto, Mrs. Kilmer moved
with them, but three years
ago she was hospitalized
with a cerebral hemorrage
and has been a patient at the
Mississauga Extendicare
until suffering a recent heart
attack.
As well as Mrs. Houston,
Mrs. Kilmer is survived by a
J son, William, of Toronto,
seven grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren.

gifts, ending their presen
tation by singing “We Three
Kings”.

recorded carols.
Mrs. A. Jones sang “0
Come, Emmanuel as
introduction to the Adult
Class play when Wesley
Stanley, acted very well
the part of “Martin the
Shoemaker” with Mrs. Ivan
Hearn as Narrator and Jim
Robertson as the voice of
Jesus. It was a delightful
closing number. Mrs. Jones
also sang a different
arrangement of “0 Come All
Ye Faithfull”.
The classes assembled in
the choir stalls and on the
pulpit platform for two
closing choruses, led by Mrs.
Bannerman, and Rev. Keith
Brown invited all to meet
with Santa in the lower hall
and pronounced the
Benediction. Helen Brown
was the excellent pianist for
the evening.
Ladies Guild

Members of Holy Trinity
Anglican Sunday School

concert during the church
service Sunday. The Nursery
class representing trees
sang a song describing how
trees grow and a second one
using bells. The next age
group each held a letter
representing Christmas and
had a little verse to repeat,
eg. “C” is for the Christ
child, etc.
The last age group, in
costume acted out the
Nativity Story, singing
suitable carols. Following
the closing carol and prayers
by Rev. John Hofland, all

News from
United Church
On the third Sunday of
Advent in Lucan United
Church, Rev. Keith Brown
told his congregation that
Jesus is called by many
names “Prophet, Priest and
King”. Last week the name
Prophet was dealt with and
this Sunday Mr. Brown
spoke on “Jesus, Our Great
High Priest”.
A priest provided access to
God, as the peoples’
representative to God and
through sacrifices, at the
time of the Israelites, asked
God’s forgiveness for their
sins.
Our sins were taken away
by the personal sacrifice of
God’s son, on the cross, the
temple veil was rent asunder
and because of this, we are
permitted, by Christ’s death,
to go personally to God. Let
us always remember and
practise oubpriesthood unto
God, serving honouring and
glorifying God, to. represent
Him personally to all
mankind.
The flowers in the Sanc
tuary were from the funeral
of the late Mrs. Louis Kilmer
(Connie). The love and
prayers of the congregation
are extended to her family.
This morning, Thursday,
at 9:45 the Prayer and Share
Fellowship meets in the C.E.
Wing. All women’ are
welcome.
Next Sunday, December
24, Christmas Sunday, a
family service will be held at
11:15 with special music.
Come and bring the family.
At 7 p.m. a Christmas .eve
carol. and scripture service
will take place including
both Clandeboye and Lucan
members, and friends will be
welcome. Come and enjoy
the blessing with us.
