followed by a service in her old home church
at Lower Caledonia. The services were conducted
by Rev. Mr. Raymer of the Pentecostal Church, New Glasgow,
assisted by James Thompson, Presbyterian student minister, Glenelg.
Mr. Raymer brought a comforting message to the bereaved,
choosing his text from the Twenty-Third Psalm.
Favorite hymns of the deceased were sung,
“All The Way My Saviour Leads Me,” Rock Of Ages.”
Mrs. Moore of New Glasgow sang “Beyond The Sunset”
at the home and Mrs. Thorne of New Glasgow sang
“The Old Rugged Cross” at the church service.
