The TALES you probably never heard about

RUBY BEATRICE BAXTER

[The Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 9 December 1931]

With startling suddenness, the death of Ruby Beatrice Baxter, beloved wife of Thomas Baxter, occurred on Saturday evening at the family residence, 15 Wolseley avenue, St. Catharines. The deceased, who was in her 21st year had been in her usual excellent health and her demise will come as a great shock by her many friends. She had resided in St. Catharines for the past year, formerly living at Copper Cliff, and during her residence here had endeared herself to a large circle of friends. In religion she was a member of the Anglican church. To mourn her passing she leaves beside her sorrowing husband, who at present is confined to bed through critical illness, her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. *White of Port Colborne, four sisters, Mrs. George Rymar of St. Catharines; Misses Stella, Doris and Helen of Port Colborne, and two brothers, Robert and Clifford of Port Colborne. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, from her late residence, 15 Wolseley avenue to St. Barnabas church to Victoria Lawn cemetery where interment took place. –Robert Whyte
