TUCKERS'MITH t Mrs. Arthur Nicholson has received the sad news of the death of Mrs. A. G. Reid of New Glasgow, Nova Sco- tia. Several relatives of Mrs. Reid lived in this vicinity. The following is from a New Glasgow paper: The passing of Mrs. Alex G. Reid at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Percy Atkins, MacNeil Street, with whom she was spending the winter months, brought sorrow to many, and especially her neighbors at Black Point, Chance Harbor and the Little Harbor district Having lived for sixty-two years at Black Point, going . there as a bride, she was well known and loved as a true friend to all for miles around. Through the years she was the "mother" of the district to whom those in trouble went for comfort. To .her home were welcomed all who came and her warm-hearted hospital- ity was shared with many in all walks of life. A staunch Christian, she took part in all the work of the Church; the .Ohance Harbor Women's Mission- ary Society, of which she had been made a life member; and the Red Cross. Mrs. Reid was a daughter of the late William and Jessie MacMillan Morton, of Anderson's Mountain, where she was born. almost eighty- three years ago. A niece of the late Dr. Morton, pioneer missionary to Trinidad, her earliest interests were along 'missionary lines; this, and the early Christian training she received in her home, served as guide posts all through her long life time. She is survived by two daughters, Jean, Mrs, Percy Atkins, New Glas- gow; and Jessie, Mrs. Harry Stewart, Churchville; also two sons, William in Halifax, and Stewart on the old homestead, Chance Harbor; and a half-brother, Charles Morton, Ander- son's Mountain. Twelve grandchild- ren and eleven great grandchildren also survive. After a short service at the At- kins home, conducted by Rev Lloyd MacLellan, pastor of First Presby- terian Church, the remains were con- veyed to Little Harbor. Church, of which she was a lifelong member. The church was filled with relatives, neighbors and friends mourning the loss of a respected, beloved member. Rev. Mr. MacLellan gave a message comforting to the bereaved and en- couraging for all Christians from the text, "I have fought a good fight." Acting as pallbearers were two grandsons, George Reid and Hugh Stewart, and two nephews, Alexx Chisholm and Warren Reid, Cecil Simpson and William Morton. The remains were laid to rest in the family plot of the Little Harbor Cem- etery, adjoining the Church, beside the remains of her husband.
