GRAHAM, Ralph
Harvie - Monday about noon, there passed away at his home,
Ralph, youngest son of Mrs. James E. Graham, at the age of 39
years. Though an invalid since his early boyhood, his bright and
happy disposition endeared him to relatives and friends alike.
His presence in the household will be sadly missed, also his
cheerful greeting to friends and passing by or making a visit.
In the spring Ralph had a severe attack of illness, but has been
able to enjoy his outings on the piazza of late. Saturday
afternoon a change was noticed in his condition, and he
gradually failed and passed away on Monday. All that loving care
and thoughtfulness could contribute to his comfort has been done
by a devoted family and relatives. His mother and his sister,
Mary, and Aunt, Miss Amelia Smith, have comprised the immediate
family since the death of Mr. James E. Graham, in 1910. The
latter was Registrar of Deeds for Hants Co. His sudden death was
quite a shock to Ralph, and greatly affected him at the time.
Ralph is survived by his mother, four brothers and two sisters.
The brothers are John P., Registrar of Deeds for Hants Co., and
George W., commercial traveller, residing in Windsor, J. Edward,
engaged in Railway Construction work, in British Columbia, and
Fred A., commercial traveller, Halifax. The sisters are Mary M.,
and Jessie (Mrs. Ralph Millett), Halifax. The latter arrived
Monday morning in the company of her brother George, after
receiving word of Ralph's serious condition. Mr. Fred Graham,
whose summer home is in Digby, arrived from there by the
Bluenose, Monday. The funeral will be held from the home, King
St., Wednesday, at 3 p. m.

MARSHALL,
Eleanor - At her home, "Hillcrest Cottage," Hopewell, Pictou
County, N. S., Eleanor May, loved wife of Wm. J. Marshall, and
eldest of the family of the late W. T. and Fannie M. Chandler
Wilson, Falmouth, passed peacefully and very suddenly to her
rest on Monday evening, Nov. 15. Although in failing health for
some years, her sudden demise was a great shock to her relatives
and friends, who did not realize the end was so near. A few
minutes before death, she asked her son John, who lived with his
parents, for beef tea, and remarked, "where is all that sweet
singing I hear," and looking up in his face smiled, and passed
away in his arms. Mrs. Marshall was at times a great sufferer
and had lost many loved ones, but she bore all with Christian
fortitude, ever looking unto Christ, from whom her strength
cometh. In just exactly three years the day of her death, she
had been called upon to part with two sons, a brother and
several other near relatives. Deceased was 56 years of age, a
devoted, faithful wife, mother, friend and neighbour, expressing
in word and deed her sympathy and charity; appreciation of same
being voiced by many at home and abroad. For years Mrs. Marshall
had been a sincere, devote and active member and worker of the
M. R. Presbyterian Church and Sunday School, choir leader, life
member and president of the W. M. Society, Ladies Auxiliary and
Red Cross. She had a beautifully sweet, clear voice and sang at
the bedside of many passing to the "Great Beyond." Many
grief-stricken and afflicted ones have been comforted and
soothed by her sweet singing of Psalms and hymns; many sick
nursed into health by her constant, devoted care. She leaves to
mourn their irreparable loss a husband in failing health, one
daughter, (Mrs. H. Robinson), five sons and eight grandchildren,
(three sons and three daughters having predeceased their
mother.) Two brothers, John and Douglas M. Wilson, and one
sister, (Mrs. Simeon Hawboldt), also survive her, and other
relatives and many, many friends. The funeral, conducted by Rev.
Munroe (Presbyterian), was held on Sunday 21st, the body being
embalmed and held till the arrival of her sons from Brandon,
Man.
