UNKNOWN PAPER - 22 AUGUST 1957 PETER HYNDS - French River - The whole community was shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Peter HYNDS of Tatamagouche, N.S. at the Lillian Fraser Memorial Hospital on Sunday morning, August 14. He had been in ailing health or the past eighteen months but bore his illness with great patience and fortitude. The deceased was the son of the late Jessie (JARDINE) and Keat HYNDS. He was sixty years of age and a life long resident of this place. He was for many years mail carrier on Rural Route number five, and made many friends while serving in this capacity. He was noted for his good nature and cheerful disposition, and was a friend to young and old alike. He was a loving husband and father and will be sadly missed in both the home and the community. He is survived by his wife, the former Mary MacCULLY of Balmoral, and their young daughters, Ruth, Betty and Jean. An infant son predeceased him. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Nettie ROSS, Tatamagouche, N.S., and Sara, Mrs. Angus McLANDERS of Kaslo, B.C. Four brothers predeceased him. The funeral was held from the late home on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and the very large attendance testified to the high esteem in which the deceased was held. The service was conducted by Rev. Richmond STEWART of Sharon United Church, who spoke comforting words to the bereaved ones. The Sharon United Church choir was in attendance, the hymns sung being "The Lord is My Shepherd", and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." A solo, "The Old Rugged Cross," a favorite of the deceased was rendered by John COULTER. The pall bearers were Alex LESLIE, William GLEN, Leslie BONNYMAN, Sidney BONNYMAN, Douglas HALVERSON and Bert HUEGHEN, all neighbours of the deceased. George AITCHESON, F.P. LANGILLE, G.R. DONALDSON, Dr. Dan MURRAY, William McKAY, Clarence LOCKERBY, Warren BELL, D.A. ROSS, Charlie CLARK, and F.R. BUCKLER, ten veterans of World War I of which the deceased was also a veteran, were flower bearers and stood at attention while the casket draped with the Union Jack was committed. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, a silent tribute to the memory of the deceased. Interment was made in the family lot in Sunnybrae cemetery.
