LEMON, ELIZABETH ANN ANNEAR (Wife of John Lemon, Sr.) - Charlottetown Guardian Feb 1922 (Family records)

She was the daughter of the late William Annear and Anne Prowse, and was born in Cornwall, England, in the year 1831, being in the ninety-second year of her age, the oldest resident in Montague.
Her parents emigrating to this Island eighty seven years ago.
Many changes have taken place during the life time of this old lady, she clearly remembering when this part of the Island was almost a dense forest, and when only four houses comprised what is today the town of Montague.
She was one of the women in those days, who was always called upon in time of sickness, her service being always cheerfully given.
Many a story could she tell of the conditions in this province in her early life, and of the hardships and privations which the people had to endure; the nearest store being at St. Andrew's Point, almost eight miles away and nothing was thought of walking that distance to do the necessary shopping.
A Methodist in religion, she was a regular attendant at church when health permitted.
Her readiness to help in time of need marked an outstanding feature in the life of this noble woman, and it may be truly said of her, "Thus to relieve the wretched was her pride and all her failings leaned to virtue's side."
Old age, coupled with pneumonia, notwithstanding all that loving hands could do, brought to a close the life of one who will long be remembered in the community in which she lived, and severed the last surviving link in the old Annear family.
She is survived by the following sons and daughters: John, William, and Frank in Montague, Wallace in New York. Mrs. Daniel MacGregor, Montague, Mrs. Artemus Boyce, Mrs. Joseph Smith, and Mrs. William Dunbar, all of Boston.
Two sons, Frederick, and George, and one daughter, Mrs. George Imray of Dorchester, Mass., having predeceased her. The funeral took place from the Methodist Church, conducted by the Rev. C. Graham. She was buried in the family plot at Lower Montague, beside that of her husband, who predeceased her thirty-eight years ago.
Where all that was mortal of a good woman was laid to rest.
