IN MEMORIAM

£8. 1E A. MMDOUGALL

In the forenoon of Auiuet 19th,

1948. citiuns of Canoe Cove and

surrounding districts were shocked

to learn of the madden passing away

of one of their loved and highly res-

pected citizens in the person of

Margaret Anne MscLaughlli-i in her

76th year. wife of the late John

Archibald MacDougall, who passed

on several years ego.

Mrs. MaoDougull wu the daugh-

ter oi’ Nell MncLaughlln and Jessie MaoEachem. Maggie as she was called by her neighbours and friends in her younger days spent several years in Boston, Mass. fol- lowing her return to her native province. Pfhctlsed her profession as dressmaker for a time, then mar- ried John Archibald Meevourall of canoe Cove, where they carried on farming for many years, with great success and left behind a beautiful home and property.

In her younger days Mrs. Mac- Dougall was converted in the Church of Scotland and from that time until her passing was a faltlr" ful follower of her lord and Mas- ter Jesus Christ, and her seat was seldom vacant in her church in Canoe Cove and she often gave open testimony that Jesus had done for her.

As an neighbour there was none better. when they had sickness or death in their family she was always there to give e. helping hand and many a morning at the breaking of dawn she would be seen making her way home after spending some long hours of the night with some neighbour who was sick and needed

care.

She was blessed with a wonderful strong body and never complained of any task being too hard for her to accomplish. Several months be- fore her death she began to fall in health but was able to be around until near the last.

She leaves to mourn one adopted son whcr.n she dearly loved. Jaanes Hall and his wife Margaret who were always a oclmfort to her; also two nieces Vertis Eillen and Doris Margaret Hall. one sister Sarah, widow or! the late Thomas Mac- Dougall of Bonshaw.
