OBIT # 5486 - EASTERN CHRONCILE - 8 January 1942 MRS. NEWTON DRAKE - The news of the sudden death of MRS. NEWTON DRAKE, North Provost St., came as a shock to her many friends in New Glasgow. Mrs. Drake who lived alone in her home was found lying seemingly unconscious on her kitchen floor. On Tuesday morning , MRS.A.S. SMITH, a near neighbour had noticed the lights in the living room of the deceased late in the evening and was worried but later seeing the lights also in the dining room decided everything was all right. Early the next morning however the lights were still on and later the furnace man could not get in. He went away and coming back the second time Mrs. Smith called him to her house and had him call Mrs. Drake's doctor, Dr. Robbins. Finally they managed an entrance to find Mrs. Drake very ill. She was able to say "You got in", became totally unconscious and died in Aberdeen Hospital about six hours later. Mrs. Drake, who was a MISS ANDREWS of Sydney has no nearer relations than cousins living and a cousin Dr. CLARENCE ANDREWS, D.D.S. was notified. Mrs. Drake was a faithful member and worker in St.George's Episcopal Church, and a prominent member of the Welfare Committee of the New Glasgow Council of Women.
