On March 28, 1947, a deep shadow of sorrow and gloom hung over the inhabitants of Souris Line Road entirely enveloping the whole community with its depressing folds and filling the hearts of all with grief. "The will of the Great Creator hath been done and one of our loved ones hath been called from amongst us to her bright long happy home beyond the skies."
Teresa, as she was familiarly known, was born on Souris Line Road, a daughter of the late Donald A. MacIsaac and Annie Ford, lived all her life on Souris Line Road except one year in the U.S.A. forty years ago. She was possessed of a depth of character and a fineness which the vicissitudes of life could not mar nor dull.
All through her life she was noted for her kindness and hospitality. In her home, friends and neighbors always found a hearty welcome. She will be greatly missed in the community where her efforts were always freely given. Also her church has lost a true and faithful member, although the deceased was not in her usual good health for some months the end came very suddenly surrounded by her loved ones and a few neighbors.
During her illness she was frequently visited by her pastor, Msgr. Murphy and assistant Fr. Murnaghan, who administered the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church when her soul went forth to meet its Maker, leaving many a friend to cherish her memory, and condole with the bereaved husband and family.
The funeral which was largely attended, was held from her home Monday morning, March 31, to St. Mary's Church, Souris, where Requiem High Mass was sung by Fr. Murnaghan, thence to the adjoining cemetery where the remains of a loving wife, mother, and sister will rest until the final day.
Left to mourn their loss are her husband, Hugh A., a retired C.N.R. section foreman, three sons, Don, at home, Bernie and Charlie settled near by; four daughters, Frances, at home, who tenderly assisted in caring for her mother in her last illness; Anna, Mrs. Charles Ryder, Saugus, Mass.; Mildred, Mrs. Cyrene Steele, New York; Viola, Montreal, who were all home for the funeral.
Five brothers, Peter A., Souris Line Road, John J. Roslindale, Mass., Ronald J., Jersey City, Matthew, California, Archibald, who predeceased her five years ago.

He has been esteemed for his hospitable qualities - for succouring the hungry and weary traveller, and sheltering the friendless stranger.
He has lived in the utmost peace and harmony with all his neighbors and acquaintances, and has left a great many friends behind to mourn his decease and walked the distance of four miles a short time before his death.
