Blakeney News
Death sad as it is at all times is rendered doubly sad when it cut down a loved one in the prime of life as in the case of Mrs R. Giles, jr., who passed away peacefully to her eternal reward last Sunday morning. She had been ailing but a short time and though seriously ill was thought to be on the way to recovery when suddenly the vital spark fled. Deceased, who was in her 38th years, was the eldest daughter of Mr Stephen McArthur of Ramsay. About six years ago she was married to Mr Giles and has since resided in Blakeney, where by her quiet, unassuming and very kindly ways she won her way to the hearts of all who knew her. Mr Giles has the heartfelt sympathy of the community in his deepest of all sorrow. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Tuesday at 2.30 to the 8th line cemetery, Rev D.M. MacLoed of Blakeney conducting the services
