Obituary: The Late Ms. J.E. Good

Funeral services for the late Agnes Bassett McLeod, widow of the late James E. Good, were held Monday at 3:00 p.m. from Fillmore United Church with Rev. A.D. Slade and Rev. S.A. Harry of Avonlea, officiating. Many friends gathered to pay their respects to dearly loved pioneer. Mrs. E.B. Ramsay Jr. was pianist. Mrs. George Argue sang “Crossing the Bar”. Rev. Harry paid high tribute to Mrs. Good as a fine neighbour and friend during his pastorate here. Favorite hymns sung were “Lead kindly light” and “Abide with Me”.

Mrs. Good was born in 1859 at Mill Stream, New Brunswick. She married James E. Good on January 10, 1883 and they came west in April 1905 and settled on their farm five miles NE of Fillmore where they lived until they retired from the farm and took up residence in the village in 1936. In 1944, she was predeceased by her husband and since then has made her home with her son and daughter-in-law Ira and Mabel Good.

Mrs. Good’s home was noted for its warm hospitality and the fine Christian influence which radiated from it. Her cheerful disposition and her interest in people made her loved by all. She gave generous support to various activities of the church and to all worthwhile community efforts.

Left to mourn are three daughters and two sons: Mrs. Ethel Deacon, St. John NB, Mrs. Gertrude Raney, Cannington ONT; Mrs. Greta Elder, Fillmore; Ira and Clifford, Fillmore; 22 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren; and a brother, Albert McLeod, Sussex NB.

Many beautiful flowers paid silent tribute, covering the casket which was borne to the Fillmore cemetary by Messrs. H.J.McDiarmid, W.O.Turnbull, W.Wright, J.Hart, A.M.Boll and J.MacLean.
