'rhe' following obituary notice- re, produced from th'e 7riifUe Mbunilain Star of Rolla, North Dakota, refers 16 a former resident of Hullett, a neice of -'Mr - Andrew Taylor.' of Clinton with ,whom she , made ' her hone until 1594. The Star says : "The `death of Mrs, 'Robert Fraser which ocetnreil: between twelve and one o'clock Saturday morning, : April lst, created a feeling of sorrow in the entire community. She . had been .ill for several months of heart trouble and Bright's disease, . but there were signs of improvement and -the immediate relatives and friends entertained hopes of a final recovery, and when the end cane, nobwith, standing the protracted illness, it seemed sudden. Barbara M. Taylor was born at Darlington, Ontario, on February 84;11, 1858, and came to ' Rolla in March, 1491. She lived at the home of ]ger :brother:, A. A: Taylor, for several years, and then assisted her brothers, Edson F. and .Tams Wesley, in the management of the Taylor Rouse. On December • 2811, 1950, she was married to Robert Fraser, cashier of the First National Bank of Rolla. In the summer of 1902 Mr, and Mrs. Fraser moved in- to their beautiful cottage on Main street. Few Ironies in any commun- ity' were more ideal in every way than the home of Mr. and Mrs, Fraser.', A well kept lawn, resplen- dent with flowers, attested Mrs. Fraser's innate love for the beauti- ful, and the outside beauty- was a true reflection of the unfailing cheer and generous hospitality extended to all who visited the home. Mrs. Fras- er was not demonstrative. The beauty of her character was express- ' ed in deeds not words. She met sor- row and suffering with a sympath- etic heart and an open hand, Spm- pathy .!vas paramount, giving mere- ly, incidental. Such a disposition does not ereat enmity nor ,jealousy, and it follows that all who r.now her became friends intuitively. Mrs. Fraser was a member of Lelia Chap- ter 0.1;.5. and an active and con- sistent member of the Presbpterian church, The funeral took place', at 2 p.n. Monday' from the residence. Brief but iimpressive services were conducted by her pastor, Rev, N. E, Koehler. Music was rendered by Mesdames E. L. Ellington and E. M. Sherry and Messrs. A. R. Beardsley and F. A. Foley, The handsome oak casket covered with brown plush was al- most hidden by flowers presented by the organizations to which she be- longed and by individual friends. The pallbearers were A. O. Graham, L. Lorenz, A 5. McLean, R. 10. Rog- ues, C. I. F. Wagner, and W, U. Hos- kins. The interment was made in the Rolla cemetery. The liecetised reaves to Mourn her loss her hus- band, one sister, Mrs. L. Howson, and three brothers, A. A. Taylor, Edson F. Taylor: and S. A. Taylor, all of Rolla, and other relatives. In them great loss, the members of the family have the sympathy of many friends. Goderich bit. A. L. Caldwell was iu Barrie last week attending the funeral of his sister.
