(from the collection of Janet Marilyn (Parsons) Mason) Violet Edwards The passing of Miss Violet, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Edwards, of town, on Sunday, December 16th, came as a distinct shock, not only to the immediate relatives but to the townspeople at large. Violet was a cherry, lovable girl and a general favorite with her class mates at the Continuation School and bid fair to take a high place in the life of the community. Some three weeks ago she took a cold and this finally developed into typhoid and although everything that could be done was done for the youthful sufferer she was unable to shake it off and succumbed on Sunday morning at the early age of seventeen years and eight months. Besides her sorrowing parents she is survived by six sisters and two brothers. They are Sidney of Windermere; Jenny, (Mrs. S. Eaton) of Exeter; Nellie, (Mrs. Len Taylor) of Parry Sound; Robena, Wm., Dorothy, Edna and Beatrice at home. The funeral took place on Tuesday, December 18th from All Saints church. The casket was buried beneath an imposing array of floral tributes, among others being offering from the Continuation School, young people of the United Church, All Saints W.A. and All Saints Sunday school, besides many individual tributes. The pallbearers were six young men, former class mates: Frank Wesley, Elwood Wesley, Goldie Phillips, Jas. Wiseman, Ray Beals and Eddie Witcombe. Among others from a distance who attended the funeral were Mr. Wm. Edwards, Brantford; Mr. Sam Edwards, Simcoe; Mr. Wm. Thompson and Jean Thompson, Orillia and Mr. Thos. Hammill and son Archie from Bracebridge. Interment took place in Burks Falls cemetery.
