MISS GERTUDE OLIPHANT

Yesterday, (Easter Sunday) at 4 p.m. as bright young life was called to its Maker, in the person of Miss Gertrude OLIPHANT. In the present of her family, including her uncle, Rev. Father GOUGH, P.P., Portugal Cove, she breathed her last, after an illness of nearly three years, and those who were present at the end, states that they have never witnessed a more edifying scene. Truly it may be said of her that she died as she lived. Gertie, as she was familiarly known to her schoolmates, was possessed of a loving personality, and her host of friends will be deeply sorry to hear of her passing. Those of us who knew her intimately will not regret the passing of a dear friend, but also of one who, during her long illness, bore it with fortitude surpassed only by resignation when she knew the end was near. To her stricken parents, Head Constable and Mrs. OLIPHANT, Ethel, her sister, Jack and Douglas, her brother, the sympathy of the entire community will be tendered.
