Edward Risser 1912 Progress Enterprise Lunenburg News December 4, 1912. The death of Edward Risser occurred on Sunday night of cerebral tumour. The deceased was 32 years of age and is survived by a widow and seven children, the eldest of which is only about 12 years old. Here is a case that should appeal to all who have a surplus of this world's goods. The mother is hampered with the care of this number of small children and is unable to work for them and their need is great. If each one would send a little of their store the burden for this poor woman would be lightened and the immediate necessity relieved.
