Miss
Ina M. Rutherford
A gloom was cast over the
village of Walsh and vicinity early Saturday morning when the sad
news was received that Miss Ina Rutherford had departed this life at
the home of her sister in Toronto of that dreaded disease
influenza-pneumonia.
Ina, who was the youngest
child of the late James and Mrs. Rutherford, had spent the past
summer in New York State, assisting her brother on the farm. She
returned home for Christmas, and two weeks ago was summoned to the
bedside of her sister, who was suffering with influenza. She herself
contracted the disease three days later, and notwithstanding
everything medical skill and loving hands could do to save her, she
passed peacefully away Friday, 10 Jan at 7 p.m.
Her remains were brought
homee Saturday evening. The funeral, which was largely attended, was
held at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon. She was laid to rest
by the side of her father. The service was conducted by her pastor,
Mr. MacGown, who took for his text Mark 14:8-9, which was very
appropriate for the occasion. The many floral tributes were
beautiful.
She leaves to mourn her loss
a mother, five brothers, Charles of Port Dalhousie, Theodore of
Vancouver,
John of Wyoming N.Y., Wallace of Calgary,
Melbourne at home and three sisters,
Mrs. H. Tyson (Lizzie) of Cainsville,
Mrs. H. Watson (Edith) of Toronto, and Miss Olive, also at home.
Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved ones.
