ISABELLA WESTROP
[Welland Tribune, 8 August 1905]
Mrs. Robert Westrop, sister of the late James Saurin of this town (Humberstone) died suddenly in Toronto on Saturday afternoon last. With her family, Mrs. Westrop spent the afternoon at the Island (Hanlans). Returning with some of the party, the deceased hurried to catch a ferry boat, but missed it. The exertion and excitement proved too much for Mrs. Westrop and turning to one of her companions, she exclaimed, “I am dying” and expired. The family were well known and greatly respected here, their old home. About two years ago the surviving husband suffered a stroke of paralysis, and has been in a feeble condition ever since. Two sons and one daughter also survive-Robert, Allen and Nellie. One sister, Mrs. Eldridge, residing in Toronto, is now the only surviving member of the Saurin family. Mrs. Westrop’s sudden demise is a sad blow to her family and friends, and expressions of sympathy are heard on every hand. The funeral was held yesterday at 2.30 p.m. from the house to Mount Pleasant cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. William Saurin and Mrs. Jas. Saurin attended the funeral.
