Mrs William Boal
On Friday, February 2, Mary J. Stanley, aged 65 years passed away. Deceased was a daughter of Richard Stanley and Sarah Owens, one of the first settlers in the Cedar Hill district. About six months ago she became ill with cancer of the stomach and although she consulted the best specialists in the country she could obtain no relief. In 1876 she was married to William Boal and moved to the farm where she spent the remainder of her days. Always active and industrious she was always an enthusiastic worker in the social life of the community. She was a member of the Presbyterian church, the choir, the Women's Institute and the school board. The family consisted of seven boys Robert M., Stanley, George W. and Stuart, all residing in the neighbourhood, Harvey in Moose Jaw, Sask., and Louis, who died about nine years ago and one who died in infancy. One brother and four sisters also survive her. At her request, the choir of which she was a member, sang her favourite hymns at the service. The pallbearers were Messrs. S. Lowry, J. Dowdall, A. Melanson, W. Connors, F. Forsythe and W. West.
