‘ Mrs. J. McicNevin

l One of Charlottetown‘s older citizens. former Louise

Amelia Rackham. widow of the late John MacNcvin. passed away peacefully at her home Wednes- day night.

Born on January 15. 1872 she was a daughter of the late Henry lltackham and his wife Jemima

Bryenton. She lived all her life in her native city and was a member of Trinity United ‘hurch.

Astute in her estimate of human character. she went her quiet way saying little. but doing much; pre rring to make up for human deficiencies rather than to spend time contemplat- ing its faults. Although bed-fad for almost seven years she was bright and alert until the last few days. always taking an in- terest in all things around her.
