Notes:

On the 29th of July, 1891, at her uncles, B. Bock, on the Manitoulin Island, Nancy, wife of Chas. Spreeman, of New Dundee, Waterloo County, Ont., aged 46 years, 7 months and 22 days. She leaves a husband and eleven children to mourn. May the Lord console and comfort them. On the 27th June she started in company with her brother, Levi Bock, for Manitoulin Island, to visit her friends, and while on the Steamer between Wiarton and the Island, she was prostrated by a stroke of Paralysis, and had recovered a little and thought she would get well again and said that she was ready and willing to go or stay if it pleased the Lord to take her, that she was satisfied. Her whole trust was in the Lord. She improved in strength, but could not move her left arm nor left leg but her foot a little. She could rest well until the morning of the 27th of July, when she was taken with pains, and the Dr. said that her heart was affected, and that there was not much hope. She was a great sufferer for two days and nearly two nights. She could speak whenever the pains ceased a few minutes. Only a few minutes before she died she asked whether Jesus was with her and she looked up and said, Yes. The word "Jesus" seemed to cheer her. She died in great peace. Funeral services conducted by Mr. Johnston, Presbyterian Student, who delivered a very appropriate address. Text, Rev. 14: 13.
