Death of a much esteemed Lady
Mrs. Jane Nairn died at her home in this place Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock. One who knew her well kindly contributes the following: Mrs. Nairn was in her 49th year and was the wife of Jacob Nairn, who with five children survive. In their sad loss they have the sympathy of the entire community. The diseased was an exemplary Christian. A model 0f piety, she was most charitable and thoughtful of others, and she made a heaven of her home, which she sanctified and glorified by her presence, It is in true Christian womanhood that Almighty God most delights to show the beauty of holiness and the sweetness of the love of which He is the infinite source. Her life, so loving in all its ties, so exalted in duty, so full of good works, so very responsive to every care of charity, so replete in wide-reaching sympathy, was indeed a fit preparation for death. The highest eulogy that can be pronounced on a woman is when it can be said: "Women loved her," and this was evidenced by the large attendance at her funeral. The manner in which she bore her long and painful illness was a striking example of Christian resignation. Her sweetness of disposition, and her unselfish character drew all hearts to her, and being thus loved in life she is now deeply lamented in death. For an hour before the funeral her many loving friends passed through the parlor where she lay, beautiful in the holy peace of death. The funeral services were held in St. Michaels church Tuesday morning, March 29th at 9 o'clock, where a High Mass of Requiem was celebrated by the pastor, Rev. S.J. Clarke. The cortege then proceeded to the New Catholic Cemetery, where the remains of the loving and devoted wife and mother were laid to rest. The pallbearers were John Tipping, Frank Spates, James McAllister, Patrick Cosgrove, Cornelius Richardson, Charles McAllister, Samuel Jackson and Patrick Barry. The floral bearers were Thomas Lyons and Daniel Carey. Among the designs was a cross, a pillow, and a sheaf of wheat from the late A. Jackson Clark's family, of Lonconing, with whom the deceased at one time lived.
