    OBITUARY

    Following an illness of three months duration the death of Mrs. Samuel MATTINSON occurred at the home of her son, Floyd Mattinson, River View, on Friday evening, Sept. 12th.

    Mrs. Mattinson, the former Alice Oulton, was born seventy-five years ago at Lornville, Cumb. Co., a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Oulton. At an early age she married Samuel Mattinson, and spent the greater part of her long and useful life in Mt. Pleasant, moving to River View shortly after the death of her husband several years ago.

    Mrs. Mattinson was the possessor of a fine Christian character, and was a devoted member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, River View. At the building and dedication of St. Andrew's two years ago, she was the generous donor of the church organ which shall stand there as a tribute to her fidelity for generations to come.

    Many to-day are mourning the loss of one whose influence for good was keenly felt. It is in the home, however, where her presence will be so greatly missed, and one son Floyd, with whom she made her home, and three daughters, (Rena) Mrs. James Fraser, River View; (Martha) Mrs. G.E. Black, Oxford; and (Levia) Mrs. Angus Dixon, River View, are left to mourn the loss of a loving mother. Mrs. Mattinson is also survived by two sisters and two brothers namely, Mrs. Bert Cloney, Edmonton, Alberta; Mrs. Hazen Chapman, Chapman Settlement; Ellsworth Oulton, Farmington, Mass.; and Charles Oulton, Baie Verte. Several grandchildren and great grandchildren survive.

    The funeral service was held from her late home in River View on Sept. 14th, and was very largely attended. Dr. L.L. Young had charge of the service, and Mrs. Mattinson's former pastor, Chaplain E.G.B. Foote, R.C.N., Halifax, assisted. The choir from St. James' Church, Oxford rendered favorite selections of the deceased namely, "The Shepherds' Psalm", "In the Sweet Bye and Bye", and "Abide with Me". Dr. Young in his brief address made fitting reference to the exemplary life of the late Mrs. Mattinson, and also left words of comfort to the bereaved.

    Messrs. Thos. Berry, Halifax, Duncan Colbourne, Pugwash, and four grandsons, Norman, Percy, Floyd and Carl Fraser acted as pallbearers. Interment was in the family lot at Mt. Pleasant cemetery.

    Mr. Henry Finley was funeral director.

    The following is the list of floral contributions which silently spoke of the esteem in which the departed was held:

    Pillow - Margaret, Floyd and Family, Jimmie and Rena.

    Baskets - Martha and Ern; Neighbors on James St., Oxford.

    Wreaths - Tom and Syliva; Mrs. King and Elaine Fraser.

    Sprays - Levia and Angus; Percy, Laura, Floyd, Cora, Norman and Irene; Rev. and Mrs. E.G.B. Foote, Halifax; Thelma, Dunc, June, Dorothy, Newt and Fraser; Tweedie and Mabel; Jessie and Bob; Avard, Jean and Family; Sister Annie, Cap and Family; Fred, Sarah and Gwen Taylor; Carl and Katherine.

    Cut Flowers - Percy and Verda; Ethel and Jim Dixon; Mr. and Mrs. Laurie Henley and Family; Mary and Lena Tait; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Cloney and Family.
