VIOLA CUSHMAN HEASLIP
[Welland Tribune, 28 August 1885]
Scarcely had Mr. Craig recovered from the effects of his fall last Monday week than he was summoned on Friday (21st) to proceed from Ridgeway to Fort Erie to conduct a funeral service over the sudden death of Mr. Heaslip’s beloved wife. The company was a very large one, and deep sympathy was evinced by all under the mournful event and impressive service. Next morning the remains were removed by rail to Wellandport Presbyterian Burial Grounds, and were deposited near her parents there. Mr. Craig read the burial service at the grave in the midst of a large company of mourners, and preached a powerful sermon, accompanied with appropriate hymns beautifully rendered by the Methodist choir of Wellandport, and joined in by an overflowing congregation. The deceased Mrs. Heaslip was a daughter of the late Mr. Cushman of Wellandport, well known by an unusually large circle of friends and highly esteemed by all. We understand Mr. Craig will preach next Sabbath (30th) at Ridgeway 10.30 a.m. and at Fort Erie 3.30 p.m. by way of improving the mournful event. Subject-“Death, man’s enemy, changed into a friend.”
