UNKNOWN PAPER - 26 FEBRUARY 1944 MARGARET SWAN - Central New Annan - On Tuesday evening, February 22, the angel of Death again visited our community and called home to her eternal rest, Margaret, wife of James SWAN, in the 82nd year of her age. Two weeks before her death, she fell in her home, breaking her leg. She never fully recovered from the shock of this, and two days before her death congestion of the lungs set in. Her suffering was borne with great Christian fortitude and patience. All that loving hands could do for her, was done, but to no avail, and on Tuesday night her spirit entered that land from which no traveler returns, and where suffering is unknown. There are left to mourn their loss besides her husband, two daughters, (Mrs.) Mrs. Charles LANGILLE, of Central New Annan, who was unable to attend her mother's funeral on account of being confined to her home with an attack of pleurisy, and (Lilla) Mrs. Angus MacKENZIE, of O'Leary, P.E.I., who was also unable to be present; four sons, Norman, of West New Annan, Eugene of Central New Annan, Charles of Pictou, and Wilfred who resides on the old homestead at Central New Annan, but at present employed at Bridgewater; also two brothers, Daniel, of Central New Annan, and Albert of Malden, Mass., who were also unable to attend the funeral. She also leaves a number of grandchildren and one great grand-child, who will mourn the loss of a grandmother, whom they always knew as being kind and loving to them. Three years ago last November she and her husband celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Charles LANGILLE. For many years she was a faithful member of the United Women's Missionary Society, until failing eyesight and declining years no longer permitted her to attend the meetings. A short service was held from her late home at one o'clock on Friday, thence to the Central New Annan Church, where another service was held at two o'clock. (...) spoke words of comfort to the bereaved, and he said that although we leave this world empty-handed, that throughout our lifetime we build up treasures for ourselves in Heaven. He spoke of some of the treasures of the late Mrs. SWAN as being of a kind disposition, good character and love of family. Hymns sung by the choir were favorites of the deceased: "The Lord's My Shepherd," "Well There Be Any Start in My Crown" and "In the Sweet Bye and Bye." The pallbearers were Laurie, Louis, Donald and Earl LANGILLE, and Laurie SWAN, all nephews of the deceased. Floral tributes were very beautiful testifying to the esteem in which deceased was held. Interment was in the Bell Gift Cemetery, West New Annan.
