Bailey, Mary S.
After a short illness on November 15th, 1950, Mary S., beloved wife of the late John J. Bailey; leaving to mourn only daughter, Mary, and only son, John M., also one sister. Funeral on Saturday at 2:30 pm from her late residence, 84 Merrymeeting Road.

Clark, David
On Armistice Day, November 11th, 1950, the tragic news fell on the happy household of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Clark, Elizabeth Avenue, when their son, David, met with a fatal accident.
He had set out with his companion on a hike through the beautiful autumn woods, little thinking that it would end in tragedy.
To all of us who so intimately knew him the news came as a terrible shock and we cannot realize that he is gone-that we shall not again see his smiling face or hear his cheerful voice.
David was a brilliant pupil of the Model School and his quiet disposition endeared him to his schoolmates and many friends. The young life which held so much promise has ended with tragic suddenness and the whole community extends heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved parents, brothers and sisters in their sad bereavement.
The funeral took place on Monday, November 13th, 1950 from his father's residence to the Church of England cemetery and the casket was covered with any floral tributes expressing deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.
"Our life is but a fading morn, It's glorious noon how quickly past
Lead us, O Christ, when all is gone, Safe home at last".

As far as can be ascertained the youth, who is a pupil of St. George's School, whilst on a walk over the barrens, met up with a 20 year old resident of Aldershot Street, whom he had known and who was out hunting with a twelve guage shotgun.
He had been sitting down with the gun across his knees and was in the act of standing up when it went off, the full charge going into the chest of the youth who was but a very short distance away.
The man brought the victim to the roadside and he was conveyed to hospital in the ambulance. Death intervened before he reached there. The matter was reported to the R.C.M.P.
