Obituary
Obituary - Sarah Ann Siddall The death occurred at the home of her nephew, Mr. Calvin Siddall, Southampton, on December 30th. of Miss Sarah Ann Siddall at the advanced age of 77 years. Miss Siddall, whose home was at Westmorland Point, N.B. had gone to Southampton to visit her brother John, and while there was stricken with heart trouble and quietly passed away. A strange co-incidence is that her brother Hiram Siddall, who resided in Amherst went in the fall of 1925 to the same house, and died in the same room from an attack of pneumonia. Miss Siddall was born on the old Siddall homestead at Westmorland Point, adjoining the lands of Fort Beausejour, so famous in the history of Chignecto, and was the daughter of the late Stephen Siddall and Annie Brown, his wife. Ralph Siddall, her great grandfather came to Canada from East Riding, Yorkshire, in 1755 and settled at this place and her grandfather, Frank Siddall and her father were all born at this home, so that in history of Chignecto the Siddall and Lowerison farm are closely identified with the history of the old fort. The deceased was a life long member of St. Mark's Church of England at Mt. Whatley where in her younger days she was a faithful attendant. She was possessed of a wonderful memory and had a great fund of "folk lore" and it was always a pleasure to listen as she told of the early settlers and conditions of her native village so full of interesting events. Her knowledge of history of this important section, handed down for three generations was of great value and many stories published in later days were based on facts supplied by her. She is survived by two brothers. John W. of Southampton and George O, now of Amherst, and one sister Mrs. Louisa Lowerison of Sackville, N.B. The funeral was held on New Years day from the home of her nephew and was very largely attended. The services at the home and grave were conducted by Rev. H.M.Manzer, M.A. Baptist pastor, who ministered to her during her illness, and who spoke in the highest terms of her Christian character. The music was supplied by the Southampton choir and the following hymns rendered: " Lead Kindly Light" "Asleep in Jesus" and "Nearer My God to Thee." Mr. Manzer rendered the solo "Face to Face" in a very feeling manner. A very impressive feature at the grave was the singing of the choir led by Mr. Manzer, of the beautiful old hymn, "Shall We Gather At The River." The whole service was of a sympathetic nature. She was buried in the Southampton burying ground by the side of her brother Hiram.
