Esther A[r]n Fick died at
the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Millard, in Toronto last Saturday and her
remains were brought here on the midday train on Monday for internment.
Mrs. Fick was a daughter of the
late John Wheeler
and was born on the old homestead now owned by
J.
Chamberlain, near the Plank Road school house.
72 years ago she married the late
Stephen Fick who passed away last August since which time she had
made
her home with her daughter in Toronto.
Three sons and three daughters
survive to mourn her loss, John of South Walsingham,
Frank of St. Williams,
James of Rowan Mills,
Mrs. A. Balmer of St.
Williams,
Mrs. Clarence Welsh of Port Rowan
and Mrs. I. E. Millard of Toronto.
The late Mr. and Mrs. Fick always
lived in the vicinity of Port Rowan and their integrity gained them many
friends. Their life occupation was farming
and a large measure of success attended their efforts.
The deceased was for many years a
consistent member of the Methodist church and upon arrival her remains
were taken to the Neal Memorial Church where the service was held,
conducted by the Rev. Mr. Quigley.
All of her children were present
with a large number of sympathizing friends. Interment took place in
Fairview Cemetery.
