• Notes

  Crosshill - The following clipping from the Plumas [Manitoba] paper, was written by Rev. Mr. Frizzle, of that place, and refers to a sister of Mrs. Wm. Hastings of Crosshill. Deceased lived in this township before the family moved west, and she will be remembered by many hereabouts. "On Xmas. Morning Plumas and suburbs were greatly shocked by the news of the sad and sudden death of Mrs. Robt. Brown who retired Monday night in her usual health and was found dead in her bed in the morning. Our deceased sister was a woman of sterling character and her death at the comparatively early age of 57 years is a great loss to the community. She was most active in brain and hand. Her good management and competency as a housekeeper were always in evidence in the attractive appearance of her home. Her manner was unassuming and easy. Her disposition was amiable and pleasant. She would always rather suffer than complain. The large number at the funeral on Friday and at the Memorial Service in the church on Sunday evening, showed how she endeared herself to all who knew her. The service in the .house on Friday was conducted by Revs. Frizzle and Bell and in the Church by the former. As a Christian she was reserved but pious. Over twenty years ago she joined the Methodist church at Linwood, Ont. under the Pastorage of Rev. W. Laird. She leaves a sorrowing husband, seven sons and four daughters to mourn the loss of a dutiful wife and a fond mother. They may be assured of the public's deepest sympathy in their sudden affliction." "On Sunday evening in the Methodist church, Rev. Mr. Frizzle preached a funeral sermon of the late Mrs. Robt. Brown taking for his subject "The Christian's Hope." Her large family of sons and daughters except Mrs. Williams of Portage, were present at the services. Deceased was a faithful member and an earnest worker of the church. No matter what was going on involving effort or sacrifice, her services were always willingly rendered. Mrs. Brown will be much missed as an earnest church worker in the community."
