The funeral was held `iu the Presbyterian church on Wednesday at 2 p, in. Rev. Carrick officiating and preaching an appropri- ate ppropriate sermon. The following account of her life was read daring the service:. "Mrs. •Piucombe or as she was gener- ally known, Grandma Plncombe) was born in Prince Edward Island, Out., Sept. 16th, 1838. At the age of 12 the family moved to Huron county and four years later she married Mr. Jno Hancock. Their family consisted of five boys and three girls; John, Henry, Sidney, William, Frank and Mrs. Han- ley, survive her, two girls having died with the black fever in 1869. A year later when Frank was a baby Mr. Han cock died. In 1879 she married Richard Pincombe and 16 years later he also died. In 1892 she and Sidney moved to Emerado, where the rest of the boys were settled For nearly 18 year she had been afflicted with rheumatism and for over 10 years had been a con- tinuous cripple. Since coming to Em- erado she had used a wheel chair, her father was a local preacher of the Bible Christain Church and these sspiritual influences led her, at the age of 15 to accept Christ as her Saviour. Her first husband Mr. Hancock, was a man of stirling Christian character and ' for many years fulfilled the duties of local preacher. Last fall she united with the Presbyterian church and throughout her illness exhibited a most submissive' trust iii ger Saviour. She was ready for the summons when it came and was garnered as a sheaf that was ready for the sickle.
