Death of Mrs J.H. Paterson
The death of Mrs J.H. Paterson which took place at her residence in Bow Island on Sunday afternoon of the 10th inst., was a big shock to her many friends and cast a gloom over the entire town. For the husband especially it was an exceptionally heavy blow, all the more realized perhaps when one remembers the extremely close and affectionate tie that existed between husband and wife. Mrs Paterson's death followed a severe attack of influenza. She apparently first contracted the malady on the Sunday previous to her death, but after a few days confined to her room she recovers sufficiently to move around. On Thursday, however, grave symptoms were noticed and again taking to her bed she gradually got worse and although everything that was humanly possible was done for her, yet her weakened state was not sufficient to enable her to withstand this additional attack and she eventually succumbed.
In Bow Island where her interest in local affairs had been so keen and her hospitality and ever-ready assistance to different organizations was proverbial her loss was instantaneously felt and fully realized. To her husband especially the heart of the entire community went out in a spontaneous burst of sympathy.
Mrs Paterson was born at Port Dalhousie, Ont., and was in her twenty-eighth year when she passed away.
She was married to Dr Paterson on December 30, 1914, and returned with him to reside at Bow Island. Since that time her sunny disposition and unassuming manners, coupled with energy she invariably imparted to the different organizations of which she was a member, made her extremely welcome wherever she went. To her husband she was a real helpmate and in his arduous work of a country physician she was always ready with kind acts and Christian like sympathy to alleviate to the utmost of her power the suffering of which she was so often a witness.
The funeral took place on Thursday morning at eleven o'clock, the cortege starting from the Hurst undertaking parlour and proceeding to All Saints Church, where the officiating clergyman, Rev G. Herring, was assisted by the Rev V.M. Gilbert of the United Church. After a short service the procession reformed and passed on to the local cemetery where interment took place.
In addition to the bereaved husband J.H. Paterson, the immediate relatives present were Mrs W.R. Reid, the mother of the deceased, Dr. H.R. Reid, a brother, of Heber City, Utah, and Dr Paterson's brother Robert of Luseland, Sask., the two latter arriving a day previous to the funeral. Other and surviving relatives of the deceased include two sisters, Mrs R.A.S. MacLaren, of Reston, Man., and Mrs A.D. Broderick, of St Catherine, Ont., and two brothers, George and Ernest Reid, who reside at Cleveland. The deceased was the youngest of the family.
