LAST RITES FOR MRS. J. MEYERS

[Welland Tribune March 19, 1940]

Good Works recalled at services on Monday
Fenwick, March 19- A large number of friends and neighbors gathered at the family home on Monday afternoon to pay their final tribute of respect to Mrs. Annie Catherine Meyers, who passed away early Friday morning in her 77th year.

The services were conducted by Rev. J. Hampson, pastor of the United church of which the deceased was a faithful adherent. Mr. Hampson paid fitting tribute to a life which had been so untiringly spent in the service of her home and loved ones, her church duties and as a neighbor and friend who could always be depended on to lift a helping hand on any occasion.

A quartet composed of Mrs. L.E. Haist, Mrs. H. Ilman, W.E. Boyes and Orley Hannigan, sang two lovely hymns, “Jesus Lover of My Soul” and “Abide With Me.”

Interment was in Hillside cemetery. Pall bearers were W.B. Brown, Orley Hannigan, Verne Koppler, W. E. Boyes, Elmer Coon and Robert Phiillips.

Among the many beautiful floral pieces were the following: Women’s Association of the United church, spray; United Church choir, basket; Big Fur Club, basket; Women’s Institute, spray.
