  • Obituary: The Outlook, Middleton, NS. published 25 July 1935 Suddenly on the evening of July 19th, Mrs. Florence Chesley Phinney, wife of Charles H. Phinney passed away after a heart attack. This was an extreme shock to her family and to the community as apparently, Mrs. Phinney had been in good health. The late Mrs. Phinney was born on Feb. 10, 1865, at Pine Grove, Middleton, and would have celebrated her fiftieth wedding anniversary in the coming December, when she and Mr. Phinney planned an extended trip to the United States. Mrs. Phinney was the daughter of the late William Chesley and Adelia Chesley, and her entire life had been spent in this community. All her life, an ardent Methodist, she had continued her religious activities with the United Church of Canada, where she had been as active as her health permitted. Mrs. Phinney is survived by her husband, three sons, L. Vaughan Phinney at home; Harris O. Phinney of Danvers, Mass., and Fred Phinney of Yarmouth; five grandchildren; also three sisters, Mrs. W. E. Johnson, Middleton, Mrs. Charles H. Lowell, Middleton and Mrs. Guy Damon, Dorchester, Mass. Funeral services were held from the home Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. Murray Armstrong of the United Baptist Church with interment in Pine Grove cemetery.
