Notes:

"A distinct gloom was cast over this community when word was received last Friday evening that Miss Audrey Wildfong had passed away that afternoon at Grace Hospital Toronto. To many who were not aware that her indisposition was so serious the news came as a shock. Miss Wildfong was a nurse in training at the above institution since September 1918. She contracted typhoid fever from a patient she was nursing about four weeks ago and while the attack was not considered serious at first the disease gradually overcame her until death resulted. Deceased was the eldest child of Mr. Nelson Wildfong of Centreville but had been reared in the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Wildfong to whom the blow is an exceedingly heavy one, more especially as she had passed beyond only an hour or two before Mr. Wildfong, answering a summons saying that she was not so well, hastened to her bedside."

"Miss Wildfong was only in her 21st year. She was earnestly devoted to her profession, in fact so wrapped up in her work that her progress was rapid and sure. While the people of her own town knew little of her professionally they did not know much of her as one who had grown up in their midst. She was the possessor of a singularly sweet and winning disposition, one of those bright and beautiful spirits who radiate sunshine all along life's pathway. She won her way easily to all hearts and her early demise brought sorrow to many hearts in Preston, even among those who knew her but casually. In Grace Hospital her natural sweetness of disposition had made her a great favorite, a fact very evident by the genuine display of sorrow on the part of the entire staff from the Superintendent down."

"The funeral took place on Monday afternoon. A service was held at the home of Mr. W.E. Wildfong at 11 A.M. and a public service at the Methodist church, of which deceased was a consistent member, at 2: 30 P.M. Rev. C.D. Draper conducted both services assisted by Rev. A.L. Terryberry of Toronto, but a former pastor here. Mr. Terryberry spoke very feelingly of the deceased whom he had visited frequently during her fatal illness. The esteem in which she was held was well evidenced by the many and beautiful floral offerings. The came from: the Board of Governors of Grace Hospital, the nurses in training, the medical staff, Miss Rowan, Superintendent of the hospital; Miss MacLennan, her special nurse; the Methodist church, the Men's Bible Class, Prof. Hubuer of Toronto and twenty others as tributes from college and other personal friends."

"The staff of Grace Hospital was represented by Miss Ruth Clarke of Galt and Miss Ruby Mounce both nurses in training. Deceased is survived by her father, Mr. Nelson Wildfong, one sister, Luella, and two brothers, Irvin and Teddy. Her mother pre-deceased her over two years ago."
