God -save the King.’i v OBSERVED AT EXETERExeter lost a noble woman in the death of Mrs. Vinetta Molldrd who passed away on Friday, SJarch 21st, following a short illness from pneu­ monia, Not only will Exeter mourn the passing of such a devoted Christ­ ian character but the Huron Bres- bytei'ial of the United Church will regret the death of their beloved president, whose wholesome- influ­ ence and unselfish deyotion to the missionary cause seemed to be the whole passion of her life. Her zeal and executive ability, combined with a burning desire to see the work of the Kingdom extended on earth, has been an inspiration to the various women’s missionary organizations throughout the Presbytery. In the days of the Methodist church Mrs, Mollard was elected president of the Exeter District, succeeding the late Mrs. A.. M. Wilson, of Greenway Following union she has been vice- president of the Huron Presbyterial and last year was elected its honored president. In her capacity she has visited most of the anxilaries throughout the district and in this way has become widely known and beloved and her position indeed will be hard to fill. Mrs. Mollard was al­ so president of the auxiliary of the Main Street Church succeeding her mother, the late Mrs. *Banos. In ad­ dition the deceased was a teacher of an adult class in Main St. Sunday School and was a member of the choir. She was also interested in W. C. T. U. work. Mrs. Mollard’s maiden name was Vinetta Banes. She was born at Credition Jan. 22, 1877, a daughter of the late Joseph Banes and Mercy Stevens.; and a granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Banes and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Stevens, both pioneers of .Stephen Township. Previous to her marriage the de­ ceased taught school at Crediton and Grand Bend. She was twice married her first liUsband being Mr. Wesley Kerr, o'f Crediton, who fol­ lowing their marriage was associat­ ed with Mr. John Trevethiclc. in the mercantile business, at Brinsley. Lat­ er they conducted the general store at Winchelsea where Mr. Kerr died. Following Mr. Kerr’s death the de- ,cp$sed . returned to Normal school and again took up the teaching profession, teaching school at Grand Bend where she was united in mar­ riage to James R. Mollard, who pre­ deceased her in the fall of 1919. The following year, with her mother, Mrs. Banes, the deceased moved to Exeter. In 1927 Mrs. Mollard was elected the first and only woman member to be elected to the Board of Educat­ ion but owing to ill health she was unable to continue in this capacity. The deceased is survived by one brother, Rev. P. S. Banes, of Salford and one sister,* Mrs. Geo. Hepburn, of Sfteplien, who were called here when her illness became serious. The funeral (private) was held Monday afternoon from her late re­ sidence conducted by her pastor, Rev C. J. sent Mrs. Rev. Mrs. Mrs. Walter Stevens, of Brucefield; Mr. Melvin Talbot, of Varna; Miss Emma Mollard, Mr. and Mrs. S. Pol­ lock and others from Grand Bend, Crediton, Woodham and McG-illivary. Beautiful floral tributes adorned the c.asket and in addition to those from private friends waS a wreath from the I-Iuron presbyterial; from Main St. church; from James St. W. from the Official Board at Salford and from the West Oxford Ladies’ Aid. The pall-bearers were Messrs. W. G. Medd, W. C. Pearce, B. W. F. Beavers, H. Horton, E. Follick and B. IM. Francis.
