EMMA BAMPTON
[Welland Tribune, 2 September 1898]
LATE MRS. BAMPTON-Emma, relict of late James Bampton, an old and highly respected resident of the town, departed this life on Sunday last, at the age of 66 years, 2 months and 18 days. Her husband, late Capt. James Bampton, predeceased her by only a few months, dying on the 24th of April last. Mrs. Bampton was born in England in 1832, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Husted, who came to this country three years later, at first locating in Chippawa. Mr. Husted died at the age of 84, but Mrs. Husted-Mrs. Bampton’s mother-attained the remarkable privilege and honor of a centenarian, dying two years ago in Michigan in the 101st year of her age. One son, James and one daughter (Mrs. Wm. Swartz) survive to mourn in the death of Mrs. Bampton the loss of an ever affectionate mother. The funeral took place on Wednesday. In the absence of Rev. Dr. Johnstone, Rev. P.L. Spencer of the Episcopal church, Thorold, officiated, burial at Fonthill, where the mortal body was laid away to await the resurrection of the just.
