EDITH EDNA BARRON
Fonthill News
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 3 March 1921]
The whole community was shocked last Sunday morning to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. Wm. Barron. Deceased had not been in good health for some time and went to Wellandra Hospital in St. Catharines on Wednesday of last week in the hope that an operation would bring relief. Everybody hoped for and expected a speedy recovery, but on Saturday evening there came a turn for the worse, and in the early hours of the Sabbath morning she passed away. Mrs. Barron was a life-long member of the Methodist Church and will be greatly missed in the church work. As teacher in the Sunday School, secretary of the W.M.S., and a member of the Ladies’ Aid and League of Classes, she gave invaluable service. Besides her sorrowing husband and two small children, Charles and Jack, she leaves to mourn her loss, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Fisher, three sisters, Mrs. Davidson of Port Weller, Mrs. T. Cooney of Fonthill and Miss Julia Fisher at home; and one brother, Arch. Fisher of Port Dalhousie. The funeral was held from her late residence on College St., on Tuesday afternoon, in charge of J.T. Romp. The service was conducted by her pastor, Rev. R.E. Zimmerman. Six members of the Bound-to-Win Class in the Sunday School of which her husband is a teacher, acted as pall-bearers. The many beautiful floral tributes laid on her casket spoke of the high esteem in which she was held by the whole community. The interment was in Fonthill cemetery.
