Obituary- Mrs. J. E. Bouvette Passes Sunday
At 2:05 a.m. Sunday morning, February 10th, Mrs. Nellie E. Bouvette, wife of the late publisher of this newspaper, passed to her reward at the age of 73 years, 3 months and 9 days of age.
Although it was extremely hard for the family to part with their mother, it is best, for she had been a constant sufferer since 1937 from an affliction for which there was no help and continued living could have only added to her days of suffering. She died from a kidney and liver ailment which was complicated by dropsy. She had been confined to her home and at instances in hospitals almost continuously since 1937. There were weeks intervening at times when she was able to be up to receive friends in her home and to enjoy an occasional automobile ride, but for the past several years she spent most of her time in bed or on a lounge and seldom was able to enjoy the company of her friends. Death came to her peacefully. There was not the slightest sign of a struggle and the termination of her life seemed to melt so smoothly into eternal rest that it was difficult to distinguish where life existed and when it ceased. The family were at her bedside when she expired.
Nellie E. (Chevins) Bouvette was born at London, Ontario, November 1st, 1872. She was baptized and confirmed in the Episcopalian Church and was married to her late husband, Joseph Edmund Bouvette, at West Lynne, Emerson, Manitoba, January 16th, 1895. To this union four children were born, three of whom survive her. The first child, a son, died, shortly after birth. Living are Clifford and Calvin who reside at Hallock, and Mrs. Oddie (Mildred) Mortenson of Detroit Lakes. She is also survived by three sisters (the three sisters are half sisters), Mrs. Ottie Wright, Miss Mable and Eva Hubman of Fort William, Ontario, also a number of other relatives who reside in Canada. Her husband preceded her in death eleven months ago.
The funeral was held last Wednesday from St. John's Episcopal Church of Hallock, the Rev. Green of Emerson, Manitoba conducting the service and her remains were laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery in the family plot beside her late husband.
Mrs. Bouvette was an ambitious and public spirited woman as long as her health permitted her to part in civic affairs. She was a devoted church worker and was for years, a member of the St. John's Episcopal Church choir when the local congregation was served by a resident minister and church responsibilities were more exacting. She was also a member of and a hard worker in the Guild associated with her church. She was a member of the Eastern Star Lodge and served as Worthy Matron of same we believe for a number of years. She was always an eager supporter of any good cause for the community in which she lived whenever her help was solicited. Coming to Hallock after her marriage in 1895, made her a constant resident of this city for 51 years and it can be said that she was one of the pioneer women who helped build this community and to share the responsibilities of citizenship here with all others.
Mrs. Bouvette was a kind and congenial neighbor and friend. Her home was always open to everyone and she was consistently considerate of the misfortunes of others. She was a great mother and lived a life of sacrifice and devotion to her children and her late husband. She was gentle and refined in her demeanor and she tried to impress her better qualities in the lives of her children.
It is difficult for a son to write the obituary for a mother, but we think the community will agree with all we have said about our mother and, perhaps pardon us if what we have said might seem a little boastful as we strive to write the last sad record of one who as much as anyone thru her toil and sacrifice in years gone by has helped perpetuate this newspaper. Men and women should be judged in ratio with the paramount ambition of their lives. Our parents have lived a life of sacrifice that their children might enjoy better surroundings and while such as this is typical of thousands of others, in our case it is a source of great satisfaction because the reward for such cannot help but return unbounded blessings in Eternity. Love is a flower that grows on the edge of every grave.
**Father of Nellie was John Chevins. Also have found surname spelt as Chevens and Chivens.
