The bearers were P. H. Thompson, Guy McKeon, Bernie Cullinan, William Morrissey, James Mann, Joe Gagnon. The floral offerings were many and beautiful and showed the high esteem in which Mrs. Canfield was held. The burial was in the Catholic cemetery south of the village.
Weep not that her toils are over, for
Hope comes and with whisper secret
Tells of a land far away
When the sun shall never set.
The land of eternal day
Where we shall meet again
The friends, we loved of yore;
Where partings are unknown,
And farewells said no more.
