There passed peacefully away on Thursday, July 13th, Mrs. Alexander Falconer, a life- long resident of South Granville. She had been ill for some months but bore her sickness with true Christian fortitude. Mrs. Falconer was the eldest daughter of the late William and Christy Gunn and was born May 6, 1854. The funeral service was held on Saturday, July 15th. A short service was held at the home. Her remains were then taken to the Presbyterian Church, of which the deceased was a life-long member, and the service conducted by her pastor, Mr. Osborn. After the service all that was mortal of a kind and loving mother was laid to rest beside her husband who pre-deceased her by 25 years. In the community where Mrs. Falconer lived, her many friends and acquaintances will miss her kindly acts and cheerful disposition so characteristic of the departed, but with her family a deeper sorrow exists, as she was the centre of their affection and to her their joys and sorrows were confided. There are left to mourn, a family of five daughters and four sons who were privileged to be with her in her last illness: Mrs. Malcom McLennan, Pleasant Valley, P.E.I.; Mrs. Duncan Munroe, Mrs. Clyde Adams and Miss Flora M., all of Providence, R.I.; and Mrs. Chesley Howatt, Tryon, P.E.I.; William H., South Eliot, Maine; George A., Shirley, Maine; John K. at home, and Coll H. of Flagstone, B.C. Also, one sister, Mrs. Linus Allendorf, Watertown, Mass., and two brothers, Donald Gunn of Vancouver, B.C., and Robert Gunn, Shirley Mills, Maine. --Charlottetown (P.E.I.) Guardian, July 24, 1933
