Mrs. Leroy Day Memoriam
"Seldom is a community called to mourn for one so universally beloved as was Mrs. Ida Weast Day. The end came suddenly at 1 o'clock on March 11th, but all who knew her know she was ready. Rev. A. J. Bailey of Machias officiated at her funeral. He preached from the words, 'She hath done what she could,' and his sermon was a beautiful eulogy.
She is survived by her husband, three daughters, Mrs. Lena Aldrow, who is a student at Lima Seminary, but fortunately was at home for Easter vacation, Mrs. John Sweigart of Springville, and Alice Day, and three sons, Ernest and Merle of Detroit, Mich., and Cecil at home, and three grandchildren, Stanley Aldrow and Aloise and Florence Sweigert; also her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Amos Weast, three brothers, Henry and Fred of Machias, and Ben J. of West Valley, three sisters, Mrs. E. E. Rice of Riceville, Mrs. Geo. Hall and Mrs. John Heidell of Machias.
On the day of her funeral, the first M. E. church of Riceville, of which she was a lifelong member, was filled with mourning friends and neighbors. She was kind and considerate of everyone, and all loved her. The banks of beautiful flowers on and around the casket gave mute testimony of the love and esteem in which she was held.
We wish especially to mention the large floral offering of the Sunday School, of which she has long been superintendent. She was a faithful, cheerful worker in all departments of the church. She led a life of daily consecration, calm and dignified. Her life was a benediction to those with whom she associated. She told me just before her son, Ernest, left for France she was thinking of him and weeping, when a voice near her said: 'Can you not trust him to me?' She turned to see who it was, and when she saw no one, she knew it was God who had spoken to her, and she fell on her knees and rejoiced saying, 'Yes, I can trust him to you, Lord, and from that time' she continued, 'I knew if he lived or if he died, God would take care of him'. I am proud and glad I can say, she was my friend and we can all say with the poet 'It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.' She has seen her first Sunday in Heaven, and lived in His presence.
