MARRIAGE AND DEATH

[People’s Press, 5 September 1905]

A sad combination of marriage and death occurred last week in the family of Adam Myers, Clifton street. On Wednesday evening Miss Pearl Myers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Myers, was united in marriage by rev. J.W. Magwood to Mr. John Stewart. The happy pair left for the east for a wedding trip. On Thursday morning at eleven o’clock, Mrs. Myers, mother of the bride, was stricken with paralysis and at noon she passed away. The over-excitement of her daughter’s marriage had put too much a strain on her nervous system with sad results. The newly married couple were summoned home from Rochester by the sad news. Mrs. Myers was 62 years of age and is survived by a husband, one son and two daughters. The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon to Drummond Hill cemetery.
