DEATH OF MRS HUGH LEANEY
[Welland Telegraph November 12, 1903]
This week is our sad duty to chronicle the death of a highly esteemed young woman of the village, in the person of Grace, the beloved wife of Mr Hugh Leaney, at the home of her parents, Mr and Mrs George Ross, on Saturday afternoon last, after a lingering illness borne with most patient fortitude, The funeral, which was attended by a large circle of sorrowing friends and relatives throughout the county, took place on Tuesday at 11.30 a.m. from her late residence to St Paul’s church, where the deeply impressive burial services of the Church of England were conducted by the rector, the Rev. F.C. Piper, assisted by G.V. Gwilym, of Trinity University, Toronto, who is in charge of the congregation here. The sermon of the rector was one of the most comforting hope to the mourners and friends.
The last mortal remains of the deceased were reverently conveyed to their resting place in the Coleman burying plot in the adjoining cemetery, by her two brothers, Charles and George, cousin Hugh Ross, of this village and three cousins William, Frank and Russell Ross of Niagara Falls Centre. The floral offerings were both numerous and beautiful, among which were those from St Paul’s church Sunday school, in which school the deceased always took a most active interest; Mr and Mrs W.E Phin, of Welland; Mr and Mrs Arthur Abbey, of Buffalo, and from relatives in St Catharines and Niagara Falls Centre. To the young husband and infant son, father, mother, brothers and sisters is extended the most sincere sympathy of the whole village and community.
