GAINSBORO BOYLE [Welland Tribune November 12, 1897]
Mrs. E. Lampman of Welland has been visiting at her father’s.
W.E. Reece has purchased the Silverthorn farm near Candasville, and will shortly live there.
Some mean rascal took a nice pig from C. Misener on Saturday night. A stop should be put to this petty pilfering.
W. MacPherson, who has been working for A. Johnson, has completed his term and returned to his home at Rosedene.
T.F. Swayze gave our school a treat on Friday with his gramophone. It certainly is a great invention and interests the scientific mind quite as much as the kinetoscope or vitascope. Frank deserves patronage for bringing it in the neighborhood and exhibiting at such popular prices.
Mrs Jacob Robins
It is our sad duty this week to record the death of Mrs. Jacob Robins, who died on Sunday, 7th inst. Deceased was one of the oldest and most respected residents of this community, having reached the ripe age of 84.
Fr some two years she has been unable to get around well, but bore her sufferings with that resignation and tranquility which marks the truly christian character. She was the last one of the first members who said the cause of God should prosper in this neighborhood, and who with true heroism joined with those who predeceased her in establishing the U.B. church here. Her labors have not been in vain, and their fecundity could be realized by her before she passed away.
She leaves three sons and three daughters to mourn the loss of a loving mother.
The funeral was held on Tuesday and was largely attended, the neighbors and friends assembling to witness the obsequies of one whom in life they loved. Rev. Bachus preached a very fitting sermon from Rev., 14th chapter and 13th verse.
