Obituary

Mrs MARY RYAN

With feeling of profound sorrow we chronicle the death of Mrs. Mary
Ryan which occured yesterday afternoon at her late residence, No. 101
Hamilton Street. Only a few weeks ago the deceased lady suffered a
cerebral hemorrhage and despite every alleviation that medical aid could
employ, and the unremitting care of a loving family and friends, the claim
of death was inevitable, and peacefully her soul went forth to eternal rest
. Blessed with happy and kindly disposition, the late Mrs. Ryan was
universally esteemed and respected. In the different social activities
organized in the interests of Church and Charity she was particularly
prominent, and her time and assistance were always generously bestowed in
behalf of any worthy cause. A sister of the late Hon. E. M. Jackman she at
all times evinced a deep interest in matters of public concern, and firm in
her views she was fearless in their exposition. In her home and children
Mrs. Ryan found perhaps her chief delight, and here her hospitality was
proverbial. Her husband, the late James Ryan, predeceased her some nine
years ago. Left to mourn their sad loss are five daughters, Mrs. F. J.
Armstrong of this city , Mrs. Chas. Peddle (Bell Island), and Mona,
Gertrude and Nellie; one son Mr. Samuel J Ryan, and three brothers, Messrs.
David Jackman of Bell Island, W. H. Jackman of this city, and F. J.
Jackman, Montreal. Rev. Father F. J Jackman of Argentia is a nephew. Of
Particular consolation in the fact that Mona, Gertrude, Nellie and Samuel
who were residing in New York were able to reach home in time to join the
family circle at the death-bed of their beloved mother. The funeral will
take place from 101 Hamilton Street at 2.30 p.m. tomorrow, Wednesday.

Mrs. SARAH MOORE

North Sydney, Feb. 10-The sudden death of Mrs. Sarah Moore occurred Friday,
Feb. 7 at her home on Brook Street , Mrs, Moore, who was about 60 years of
age, was apparently in good health, but on Friday she was missed by her
tenant Mrs. T . Rogers, who upon investigating, found her lying on the
floor in an upstairs room. A doctor was summoned and it was found that she
had suffered a heart attack which caused her death. Mrs. Moore is survived
by one sister, Mrs. Frances LeRossignol, of North Sydney, and three
brothers, Captain John Wilson, Charles Wilson of Newfoundland and Edward
Wilson of North Sydney.
