Mrs. R.H. Wansbrough, Toronto
Acton relatives and friends and many in a wide circle were grieved to learn
of the death at her home in Toronto, on Monday, May 5th, of Mrs. R.H.
Wansbrough. She had patiently borne the suffering of a lengthy illness.
Born in Nassagaweya Township in 1886, Mabelle Williamson was the daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. David Williamson.  She spent her girlhood and early
womanhood in Nassagaweya and Acton.  In 1910 she married Roy H. Wansbroughd
and for a few years the young couple resided on the farm near Crewsons
Corners.  In 1916 she and Mr. Wansbrough removed to Toronto where they have
resided since.  Mrs. Wansbrough was an active woman, who besides her duties
of the home, took time and energy in promoting the better things of life.
She was active in church work, at North Parkdale United Church, in the
Sunday School and Women's Christian Temperance Union.  Her life was full of
good deeds and her kindly disposition won for her the true friendship of
many.  To the bereaved husband and two children Betty and Donald and the
brother John and Fred and sisters Mrs. Wm. Murray and Mrs. Albert Young,
sympathy of many friends in this home community goes out at this time.  The
funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon of last week with service at
Parkdale United Church, conducted by her pastor, Rev. M.R. Sanderson,
assisted by a former pastor and dear friend, Rev. Dr. DeMille, Rev. Dr.
Peter Addison and Rev. Wm. Wilson.  Floral offerings received from friends
and relatives from Windsor to Ottawa were a wonderful tribute of the love
and esteem in which she was held by a host of friends.  Interment in the
family plot in Fairview Cemetery, Acton.  Pallbearers were her two brothers
John and Fred Williamson and four brother-in-law Gordon MacKay, Harold
Wansbrough, Allan Smith and Frank Day.
