Died at the residence of her son at Montague Bridge, P.E.I., on Friday, the 2nd inst., Mrs. Anne Prowse (Annear), relict of the late William Annear, Esq. in the 84th year of her age.
Mrs. Annear was the oldest and one of the most respected residents of Montague.
She was born in Plymouth, England, in 1810 and emigrated to the Island with her husband and two children about 60 years ago.
They lived for three years in Charlottetown before settling at Montague.
Deceased was the mother of nine children, six of whom are living, one son and five daughters, besides thirty-four grandchildren, and twenty-five great-grandchildren.
About two years ago, she sustained a severe injury, by a fall, which confined her almost entirely to her room and prevented her from visiting her daughters, whose company was her chief delight.
She was a faithful wife, a loving mother, and a kind neighbor.
Being endowed with a superior mind, gifted with rare social qualities and possessing a bright, hopeful disposition, she had the happy faculty of bringing sunshine and gladness to those around her.
She loved all God's people without regard to name or creed and contributed alike to all.
During her last days, her faith continued to grow stronger, and often when she felt her strength failing, she would express a desire to cross the river and enter into her rest with the loved ones gone before.
Now, the sandals are loosed from her tired feet.
"She has reached the river side,
And crossed the stormy tide."
How often will those who are left, long
"For a touch of a vanished hand,
A voice that's forever still."
Her remains were followed to the cemetery at Lower Montague by a large number of relatives and friends and there laid side by side with her husband and her two youngest children. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. W. Lawson.
