health was somewhat improved, and
she was returned to her own home,
She had been to tea with a friend
and returned home. Evidently fear.:
ing another attack some time during
the night, she attempted to inake her
way to neighbors through a back
way, but was overcome and 'had been '
dead some time when found: The
Coroner was called and the body re-
moved to the house. Circumstances
compelled her to 'earn her living as
best she could; and often had noth
ing more than tate bare necessities
of life, but was seldom if ever heard
to complain, but accepted her lot in
life in her usual patient way. Not
having any relations in' the vicinity
she was kindly remembered with
flowers by friends, the church and
the Women's Institute, .She was a
consistent "member of the Anglican
Church and seldom missed an oppot•
tun ty to attend the servicer, Ata
