Left to mourn their loss are two sons Miner of West Newbury and Alec of Merrimas, Mass., and one daughter, Mrs. W. W. Barbisy (May) of Merrimas, Mass.  She also leaves three sisters, Mrs. Mary Johnson, East Leicester, Mrs. Dora Dickie, Mount Pleasant, and Mrs. Ursula Darby, residing in Mass., U.S.A.  Thirteen grandchildren also survive one who tenderly cared for her since the death of her husband and from whose home she was buried.  Twenty- great grandchildren and six great great grandchildren also survive.
Mrs. Mattinson was a woman of sterling Christian principles and will be greatly missed in this community and in the church and W.M. Society.  Her funeral was held from the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. William F. Mattinson, on Thursday, Aug. 1st, and was largely attended.  services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Davis of Trinity United Church, Oxford, assisted by Mr. Knock of Mount Pleasant charge. ...

She was a member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, former member of the Dartmouth Curling Club and a volunteer for the Dartmouth General Hospital Auxiliary. She was a talented musician both piano and organ, made many beautiful crafts, and was very handy sewing for the entire family. One of her favourite pastimes was tending to her beautiful gardens which were a work of art. She was a doting grandmother to her three grandsons and spent many hours taking care of them over the years and making every holiday extra special with personalized packages from Nanny. She always put so much thought into every gift she ever gave. A present from Nanny was not just an ordinary gift. She was kind, generous and enjoyed doing all she could for others. She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Ivan; son, Paul and his wife Sandie (Burbine); loving grandsons, Craig, Kirk and Nicholas and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by brothers, Alton, Carmen, Coll Maxie and sister, Anne. Cremation has taken place with private burial. Family flowers only.
