MRS. WALTER MADGE
There died in Stanley township on
Tuesday, December 10, Mary Quance
Ward, wife of the late Walter Madge,
in her ninety-ninth year. The late
Mrs. Madge was born in E'xbourne,
Devonshire, England, on December 4,
1842. She was twice married, first
to Mr, Mediand. To this union were
born two girls, both of whom died
in infancy before their father, Then
on March 5, 1876, the young' widow
became the bride of Walter Madge in
a doable wedding ceremony at Ex -
bourne when his sister also became
the bride of R. W. Turner. On April
6 of the same year the two young
couples sailed for Canada from Liv-
erpool. They were eleven days cross-
ing to Portland, Maine, from whence
they took train to Montreal and on to
Seaforth. From Seaforth they came
by stage to Bayfield where they were
met by their friends, the Westlakes,
with whom they stayed tor' a year.
Mr. and Mrs. Madge rented a farm on
the Sauble Line from Mrs. Snowden
but in 1890 they purchased the farm
on the Bronson Line (now owned by
Roy Seotchmer) where they lived
until Mr. Madge's death on June 9,
1018. In the fall of 1918, she went
to live with Mr. and Mrs, George
Campbell (Mrs. Campbell is a niece)
at whose home she died. Beloved not
only by her relatives but by all who
knew her. Mrs. Madge will live long
in the memory of many. She was
known as a good, industrious woman
and a kindly neighbor. Her interests
were widespread and she was (espec-
ially fond of young people. Always
youthful in spirit, she was mentally
alert and retained her spontaneous
humor until within a few days of her
death, Although she had lost her eye-
sight, the radio took the place of the
newspaper and by broadcasts she
kept abreast of the times, She is
survived by a half-sister, Mrs. Ward,
a sister-in-law, Mrs, Alfred Madge,
and a brother-in-law, John Madge, in
England. Mr. R. W. Turner of Port
Elgin is a brother-in-law and Mrs.
Newcombe of Goderieh, a sister-in-
law. The funeral was held from
Trinity Church, of which she had been
.a member since coming to Canada,
on Thursday, December 12. The ser-
vice was conducted by the rector,
Rev. John Graham, who paid tribute
to Mrs. Madge's life of almost a cent-
ury of service. The pallbearers were
six nephews, John Turner, George
Campbell, Robert Turner, Fred Turn-
er, John Newcombe, and Gilbert
Freckleton. Thus was the body of
this cheery Christian soul, Stanley
township's Grand Old Lady, ' born
tenderly to its last resting place in
Bayfield Cemetery. Floral tributes
were many and beautiful. Relatives
from a distance who attended the
funeral were: William Turner, Wind-
sor; Mr, and Mrs, Gilbert Freckle -
ton, Port Elgin; Mr. and Mrs. R. E.
Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Turner,
Mrs, Bissett, Mr. Harold Newcombe
and Mr. John Newcombe, all of God-
erich,
Considerable anxiety is felt here
for the safety of Kenneth Castle, 19 -
year -old son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Castle of this village. About a month
ago Mr. and Mrs. Castle received
word that Kenneth was sailing aboard
the Norwegian linter "Oslofjord",
which recently struck a 'nine off
Newcastle, England. Kenneth, who
went to Halifax in the early summer
to enlist in the Navy, had completi'd
six weeks military training and sign-
ed on the "Oslofjord" as an oiler.
