- DEATH OF MOTHER AND DAUGHTER:
Jane McCutcheon died very young, at the age of 33, soon after her third and final daughter was born. She never recovered fully after her last birth.
She was incapable of caring for Sadie, so for the short two years of Sadie's life, she was raised by her grandparents, HR McCutcheon and Rebecca Lamott.
Although the historical records do not reflect it, Jane died before her baby girl, Sadie.
She thankfully never knew that her baby girl died. Sadie was two years old when she died.
Records say that "Sarah" Jane McCutcheon died 22nd September 1906. However, the coffin breastplate from her casket says she died 23rd September 1904. This agrees with family recollections that say Sadie was raised by her grandmother, Rebecca Lamott McCutcheon.
Mrs. Jane Pocket aged thirty years, beloved wife of Richard Pocket of Glensmith, and daughter of Robert McCutcheon of Springhill, died on Friday September 23rd at her home in Glensmith. Funeral services were held at 8 o'clock Sunday morning, the interment taking place in Neepawa. The deceased leaves a husband and three children to mourn her loss. The funeral was attended by a number of sorrowing relatives and friends.
