Hannah J. Haines
Hannah Jane Haines - Canso, Feb.22 -
The community was saddened by the sudden
passing of
Miss Hannah Haines on Sunday afternoon.
In the early hours of
Sunday morning,
her attendant Miss Evelyn George was awakened and seeing
Hannah needed immediate medical care phoned for Dr. J.J. Stanton
and nurse
Taylor. After the morning services,
her pastor Rev. H.E. Colpitts of the Canso
Baptist Church
and W.C.Forbes, of St. Paul's United were both with her
until
she passed peacefully away.
She was born almost 56 years ago in Canso,
the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Williams Haines.
She leaves to mourn one brother Clifford of Halifax
and
one nephew Reginald Snow, also of Halifax.
Funeral services were conducted both at the house and at the church
by
Rev. H.E. Colpitts and W.C. Forbes.
To pay a fitting tribute to Miss Haines
the
words of her pastor who attend her are the best to give.
"Hannah Haines was a saint, her life was an example and a source of
strength to all...
Those who ministered to her in any way found they were
blessed by her
in any way found they were blessed by her christlikeness.
Never querulous, never bitter, above all else we would agree that she is
the
best decribed by the word christian in its finest meanings."
The choirs of the United Baptist, St.Paul's United with Miss Lillian Horton
as organist were in attendance. Her favorite hymn
"Will the circle be
Unbroken" was sung.
The pall bearers were George Bond, Bert Nickerson,
Homer Nickerson, Arthur
Roberts, William Ryan, and Alec Cameron.
