In Memoriam
MRS. HARRY CROSSMAN
---The death occurred at her home in Albany on Wednesday, March 30th, of Mrs. Harry Crossman at the age of 63 years.
Mrs. Crossman had been ill for the last year. She entered the Prince County Hospital, where she was a patient for some time last summer. With improved health she was able to return to her home, where she was lovingly cared for by her family up until her passing, which came as a great shock to her many relatives and friends.
Mrs. Crossman was the former Miss Rubina Ruth, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Curtis, Albany. After her marriage she resided in Cape Traverse until last fall, when she and her husband moved into their new home in Albany. There she happily enjoyed her last few months.
Mrs. Crossman was at times a great sufferer, but bore her Cross in a Christian manner. She was never heard to complain and was always grateful for what her loved ones were doing for her.
She was dearly loved by her husband and family, who did all in their power to give her the comforts and care she needed. Her passing was a great sorrow to her loved ones, especially to her husband, who has been very ill also.
Ruth, as she was known by all, was a great lover of home. Her joy was to be in the home; to see to the needs of the family, where she will be sorely missed. But her work on earth is ended, and God in his infinite love and wisdom called her to that everlasting home prepared for those who love Christ and keep His Commandments.
She leaves to mourn her passing; a sorrowing husband, three daughters, namely (Bessie) Mrs. Harry Doull, Carleton Siding; (Pyrtle) Mrs. Thomas MacMickin, Carleton; (Edith) Mrs. Eldon Large, Albany. A daughter Dorothy predeceased her some years ago; four sons, William, in Montreal; James, Toronto; Douglas, Albany; John, at home; also two sisters, Edith Curtis, R. N., Boston; (Georgie) Mrs. John Grigor, Boston, Mass.; four brothers, Theophilus of Albany; Otto, Bedeque; William, Sask.; Art Curtis, Sask.; and seventeen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
The funeral service which was held at the home of her son, Douglas was largely attended, despite the bad roads. Friends from far and near came to pay their last respects to a dear relative and friend. The service was conducted by her Pastor, Rev. Harvey Bishop of Charlottetown, assisted by Rev. Wm. R. MacKay. Hymns sung were: 'The Lord Is My Shepherd,' and 'I Joyed When To The House of God, Go Up They Said To ME.' Dr. Peter MacDonald tenderly sang, 'The Old Rugged Cross,' accompanied by Mrs. George MacKay at the organ.
Pallbearers were: Messrs. William Pye, William Brennan, Russell Howatt, Earl Sawler, Keith Ford, Gordon MacWilliams, friends of the deceased.
Interment was in the Church of Scotland Cemetery, Cape Traverse.
