Mattinson, Beckwith, on Christmas night.  Mrs. Mattinson had been in failing health for the past three months.  Born at Little River in 1901, the daughter of the late James and Eva Eaton, she spent most of her married life in Beckwith, where her friendly disposition won her a wide circle of friends.  She was keenly interested in her church and will be greatly missed in the Missionary Society of which she had been a member for many years.  Surviving are her husband, William Mattinson, one daughter (Bernice) Mrs. Hubert Collins, one granddaughter Ellen and a brother, Charles Eaton of Halifax, Mass.  The funeral service was held on Sunday, Dec. 27th, at 2 o'clock from the home of her daughter at Beckwith and was largely attended.  Rev.

Joseph E. Mattinson, an aged resident of Shinimicas Bridge passed away Feb 10th at the home of his grandson, Murray Mattinson, Chelsea, Mass.  The deceased had been spending a few weeks with his children when he was stricken down with that dread disease, influenza, which developed late pneumonia and in spite of all the medical skill and loving hands could do, he passed away to the great world beyond.  The deceased was at the time of his death in his seventy-first year.  He was a deacon of the Baptist Church for many years and had a bright and cheerful word for every one.  He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife and four children, Mrs. Pearly Barbrick, Miner and Alex Mattinson, all of Haverhill, Mass.  Mrs. John H. McDonald of Oxford, and several grandchildren of whom Ava Eaton resides at his former home.  Also one sister, Mrs. Clinton Bigelow, Kings Co., and four brothers, John, Vance, Smith and Wellington of Brockton, Mass.  The remains were brought home and the funeral service was held from his late home on Sunday afternoon where, despite the rough weather, a large number of friends paid their last respect to the deceased.  Pastor Scott of Oxford gave a message of comfort and consolation to the bereaved family and friends from the text, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord".  The hymns were, "Shall we Gather at the River?" "Rock of Ages" "Abide with Me".  The burial took place at Birch Grove Cemetery.  To the wife and family of the deceased we extend our deepest sympathy. "Gone, but not forgotten".
