Mrs. Wm. McAlister
Deep sorrow was brought to another home in Mindemoya neighb orhood on Dec. 16th, 1930, when death called away Mrs. Wm . McAlister, (nee Ellen Ferguson,) at the early age of fort y-two years, from her sorrowing husband and family of seve n children of whom the youngest is six years of age.
Mrs. McAlister was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. an d Mrs. Chas. Ferguson of Mindemoya, Ont.
She was born on the Ferguson homestead, April 19th, 1888, a nd was married to Mr. Wm. McAlister nearly twenty years ago.
Over four months ago she had an attack of inflammatory rheu matism which confined her to her bed; and later cancer, tha t great enemy of the human race, progressed and developed u ntil the end came. During these months of illness she had b een a great sufferer, and bore her burden with Christian re signation, a kind thoughtful and loving wife and mother wil l be much missed in a family of tender years; and the since re sympathy of all goes out to husband and children in thei r severe trial.
The eldest daughter, will be able in a measure to take he r mother's place and conduct the duties of the home. The ch ildren are:-Kathleen, Norah, Robert, Peter, Audron, Orval a nd Odetta.
Besides these Mrs. McAlister is survived by four brothers a nd four sisters. Mrs. David Williamson, (Jessie) Daniel Fer guson; Mary; Robert; William; Mrs. Robt. Marshall, (Aggie) ; Albert and Mrs. Thos. Breathat (Isabel.)
The funeral service was conducted by Rev. L. E. Atkinson o f Mindemoya, assisted by Rev. Wm. Munro.
The pall bearers were: Romaine Conley; Walter Williamson; J ohn Love; Bert Bond; Over Bond; Herbert Vanhorne, old schoo lmates of Mrs.McAlister.
The funeral director was Thos. Williamson of Mindemoya, Ont.
Death coming to a home at any time is a message of sorrow , indeed, but when a mother is taken from a husband wit h a large family, human sympathy is exercised in a more mar ked degree, under such circumstances; but the Ruler of th e Universe does all things in Divine wisdom; and it is our s to save with the divine sufferer, "Not my will, but thine , be done!"

The Recorder, Gore Bay, January 22, 1931
