In Memoriam

MRS. EARL HUGHES

Seldom were the people of Neiw Waterford, N. S also of Harring- ton, P. E I.. so shocked and sad- dened as on the evening of Monday. Jan. 27th, when it; wa. learned that Mrs. Earl Hughes the yoiuigcsz daughter of Mrs. G. l-i Jones and the late Mr. Jones Harrington. P. E I. had passed away in the P E. I, Hospital.

Her condition was not considered serious, until a short while before the end. Realizing the inevitable outcome of her illness. she laced the future with rare courage and assuring all with her that “she was not afraid to die,“ brings great com- fort to the bereaved ,

A largely attended funeral was held from the home of her mother, Harrington, P. E. I conducted by Rev. Carlyle Webster of Zion Pres~ bytlerian Church, Charlottetown, as- sisted by Rev. Mr. McNeil, Manh- flield and Rev. Mr. Skinner of Win- soe.

The hymns sung were "The Lord is My Shepherd." "Jesus Lover oi’ My Soul" and Safe in the Arms of Jesus. Interment was made in Sherwood Cemetery, P. E. I. be- side her iather who had passed on a few months ago The pallbearers were: Messrs. Stanley Younker, Charlie Wise. Tony Phufer, Ver- non Hughes, Avian McCallum and Neil Diamond.

Mrs. Hughes was born at Harring- ton. P. E. I. Oct. 2nd, 1910. She was a. valued member of Harrington Church Choir and took an active part in all church work.

Before her marriage thirteen (18) months ago, she followed tho nurs- ing profession in United States and P. E. I. and many of her patients will regret her passing as she en~ deemed herself to all by her faith- fulness. She leaves to mourn a sor- rowing husband and infant daugh- ter (Anna Christine) also her moth- er, Mrs. Herbert Jones, Harrington, two brothers and three sisters, namely George and John. Mary Katherine and Annie
