After disposing of her property
and regaining health, Mrs. South-
combe's time for many years was
spent with members of her family,
relatives or friends to whom she
could be of service when needed
most, especially where nursing was
required.
Following the death of her eld-
est sister at Port Union in 1920,
she spent six months in England,
and thereafter made her home
with her nephew Levi C. Annis and
his wife. Since his death four
years ago, Mrs. Southcombe and
Mrs. Annis have continued to live
in the house on the farm where in
spite of failing eyesight and hear-
ing, and slight paralysis from a
stroke, she could get about the
rooms with the' use of a cane. Her
mind continued clear and alert
throughout her long and useful life
and her interest in every aspect of
Christian work, also events of loc-
al, national or world-wide concern
never waned.
Mrs. Southcombe was endowed
with an exceptional memory.
When well past middle, life, she
gave in an hour-long reading, "The
Lost Word" by Van Dyke, without
notes of any kind or prompting.
Death came suddenly as a re-
sult of the strain from a series of
severe muscular spasms. She was
the last and had lived the longest
of all her own and her husband's
family. She was an inspiration to
all who knew her. .

BACKACHE
May be Warning
Backache is often caused by lazy
kidney action. When kidneys get out of
order, excess acids and wastes remain
in the system. Then backache, dis-
turbed rest or that tired-out and heavy- '
headed feeling may soon follow. That's
the time to take Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Dodd's stimulate the kidneys to normal
action. Then you feel better—sleep
better —work better. Get Dodd's
Kidney Pills now. 59

Thursday, .April.7, 1 960 Clinton News-Record..,- Papa 3
Surprise for Mr. and Mrs, James Medd,
Couple Honoured on Golden. Wedding
combe, formerly of Clinton, in her
95th year.
Mrs. Southcombe was born in
Darlington Township on July 24,
1865, and was the youngest of 18
children born to Mr. and Mrs.
Anthony Washington. Her moth-
er was Elizabeth Annis, who was
born in ScarSoro the same year
that Queen Victoria was born.
During the year that Victoria was
crowned, she married Mr. Wash-
ington, who could trace his ancest-
ral tree to that of General George
Washington of the USA.
Washington Church in Scarboro
was named in appreciation of Mrs.
Southcombe's grandfather, who
had shown devotion to the found-
ing of the church. Mrs. South-
combe's maternal grandfather had
donated the land for that church.
Her father was a preacher in the
Scarboro area for nearly 40 years.
When Mr. Washington died at
the age of 55, his wife bought a
home on Rattenbury Street, Clin-
ton, opposite the Wesley Methodist
Church (now St. Andrew's Pres-
byterian) and moved there with
Ezra, Lizzie and Margaret, three
of their children. Here Mrs.
Washington's talent for leadership
was applied to the primary depart-
ment of the Sunday School and the
Young People's Epworth League.
In later years, many who came
under, the influence 'of her teach-
ing during formative years, greatly
acknowledged its worth. On the
family monument in Zion Church
cemetery where 11 are buried, the
inscription beneath the mother's
name reads "Her children rise up
and call her blessed."
It was two years after her moth-
er's death at the age 'of 86, that
Margaret Washington married R.
James Southcombe. Together they
spent nearly ten hay and busy
years on their farm a few miles
from Clinton. A deep and lasting
sorrow came into her life, when,
soon after they had retired and
were renovating their home-to-be
in Clinton, Mr, Southcombe died
very suddenly. That was in Oct-
