She had not been perfectly well for a few weeks but not a thought of this sudden termination was entertained by her family. For the second time this spring she went in the stable to help her aged husband about the milking. Soon she was seized with a faintness and her husband started to assist her to the house. Before reaching there, however, she collapsed dying in his arms. The Health Officer, Dr. Fish, was called, who gave the necessary permit for burial. Funeral arrangements were in the hands of Undertaker W. H. Proctor. Internment in St. John's R. C. cemetery on Tuesday. Annie Marie Zeffers was born at Ashford on Nov. 13th, 1852 to Martin Zeffers and Katherine KlaussZeffers, and spent her whole life near the place of her birth. On May 4th, 1869, she was united in marriage to Franz Schumacher, who, together will eleven children survive her.
