    • . 1919 Jan 30 -McCutcheon, Elsie Viola, OSPRINGE
      The death of Elsie Viola, the dear young daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Hugh McCutcheon, of the third line, leaves a sad vacancy at the home fireside. This bright young life was sorely afflicted during the year. After treatment in the hospital at Fergus it was hoped she would improve, but she gradually sank & passed away last Wednesday evening. The funeral was held to Churchill Cemetery on Saturday.

      . 1919 Feb 6, IN MEMORIAM
      ELSIE VIOLA McCutcheon
      On Wednesday evening, 22nd January, 1919, at her father's home, 3rd line, Erin Township, the death occurred of Elsie V. McCutcheon, eldest daughter of Mr. Hugh McCutcheon, at the early age of 14 years. Her illness extended over 5months & was borne with heroic patience & cheerfulness. Early in December she underwent an operation in Queen Alexandra Hospital, Fergus, & her condition seemed to improve for a time, but a recurrence of the disease soon took place. Her sufferings became more & more intense until death finally released her.
      Throughout her illness she greatly enjoyed meeting her girlhood friends & companions whom she recognized & welcomed to the last. Elsie was always somewhat delicate in health, but her mind was ever keen & alert. She passed her entrance examination in June, 1917, & afterwards took up continuation work for a year. She then devoted her whole time to music, a subject in which she was particularly gifted. At school Elsie was a general favorite. Her gentle & amiable disposition won for her the admiration & affection of all with whom she came in contact. Her capability & willingness to accept any part assigned her made her services a valuable asset in preparing for entertainments in church & school & in this capacity she will be greatly missed. The general esteem in which she was held is evinced by the gloom which her early death has cast over the entire neighborhood. Her sorrowing parents & sister have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement.
      The funeral on Saturday to Churchill Cemetery was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. J. C. Wilson assisted by Rev. R. E. Jones. Several anthems appropriate to the occasion were rendered by a male quartette led by Mr. A. T. Mann. The floral tributes were beautiful. The pall bearers were Messrs. David, Robert & William McCutcheon, A. Murray, Chester Allen, and Alex. McPhedran.
