The TALES you probably never heard about

ANN LISTER

[Welland Tribune, 14 May 1897]

Fonthill News

We regret to record this week the death of another aged resident of this place-that of Mrs. Lister, who passed peacefully away on Thursday, May 6th inst., in her 85th year. As far back as twenty-four years, since the death of her husband, deceased has not been very strong; especially the last few years she sat in her usual familiar chair, unable to go out very often. She will be greatly missed by her associates, and especially by those left in the same home, who so keenly feel the loss. Deceased came from Scotland while very young, and has resided in this country all her days. Two daughters and one son survive their departed mother. Services were conducted by Wm. Wetherald of the Friends’ church on Saturday, May 8th, assisted by revs. Rogers and St. Dalmas. Deceased was a member of the society of Friends’ meeting house, South Pelham, and interment in the burying ground adjoining.
