The
Late Mrs. Misner
One more link with
Norfolk's pas is secured by the passing of Mrs. William Misner, a
member of one of Norfolk's pioneer families, who died 12 Dec 1918,
in her 86th year.
She was a daughter of the
late Peter and Haklah Anderson, and was born in Vittoria on 16 Jan
1833. When she was nine years of age the family moved from
Vittoria to a farm about two miles west of Simcoe.
On Mar 18[68], she was
united in marriage by Elder Slaght of Waterford, to William Misner
of Renton, near which place she spent the remainder of her days.
While still in her
girlhood she became a member of the First Baptist Church of
Simcoe, and since then her Bible has been her guide.
She was a woman of
sterling worth and was beloved by all who knew her. She will be
greatly missed in her home and the community in which she lived in
faith and in hope.
Mrs. Misner has been in
feeble health for some time, but was confined to her bed only a
short time to passing.
In this life she leaves to
mourn her love her husband, and daughter, Mrs. Harry Nelson of
Simcoe, and four sons,
Albert of Brantford, Charles of Polk, Pa.,
Walter of Mt. Pleasant and Arthur of Detroit.
There are three
grandchildren, numerous near relatives and hosts of friends who
are left to regret her demise.
The funeral was held from
his home on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Rev. H. C. Newcombe of the Simcoe Baptist Church spoke words of
comfort. The bearers were the four sons, her son-in-law Harry
Nelson of Simcoe, and George Anderson of Tillsonburg.
