    3. Obituary: MRS. J. Norman Buckler The death occurred on Monday, September 5, at her home at Dalhousie West, of Mrs. Elizabeth Anne Buckler, following a long illness. Mrs. Buckler was born at Lake La Rose 85 years ago, daughter of the late John and Elizabeth (MacKay) Harris. She was a school teacher in her earlier years, and after marriage to J. Norman Buckler in 1891, spent the remainder of her life at Dalhousie West, where she was held in particularly high esteem and affectionate regard. Her husband predeceased her eight years ago. Funeral services conducted by Rev. C. R. Elliott assisted by Rev. Canon E. Underwood were held on Wednesday afternoon, September 7, from the home and from All Saints Church, Gibson Lake, with internment in the cemetery there. Pallbearers were Ritchie Todd, George Mailman, Arthur Gillis and Stanley Hannam. Mrs. Buckler is survived by four daughters: Mrs. H. DeBlois Anderson (Kathleen), and Mrs. Larra Gillis, at home; Mrs. Camion Mills (Alma), and Mrs. Ronald Longmire (Lillian), Bridgetown; Mrs. Charles Holdt (Freda), New York; and by two sons, John, of Bridgewater; and Arthur, of Montreal. Two sisters and one brother also survive: Mrs. John Jackson, (Emma) and Miss Louise Harris, of Paradise; and John Harris, of Annapolis Royal. She was a woman of warm natural grace and a true spaciousness of both heart and mind. These qualities, which illness never enfeebled, were valiant to the end; and she will always be fondly and proudly remembered as exampling in its finest form the trinity of wife, mother, and neighbor. The death occurred on Monday, September 5, at her home at Dalhousie West, of Mrs. Elizabeth Anne Buckler, following a long illness.
