Mrs. MacDougall had not been feeling well for a few weeks suffering from an attack of jaundice and on the advice of her doctor entered the hospital for treatment but all that doctors, nurses and loving hands could do to alleviate the suffering and restore health was done but God in his wisdom and unfailing love willed otherwise, for her work had ended, her earthly home was hers no more and as the dark hours of the night broke into the dawn of a beautiful day god called his loved one to her inheritance on high to receive the award of a beautiful soul.
In the passing of Mrs. MacDougall a true friend, mother and sister has gone on. She was honorably known not only in own community but the greater portion of the Province as well. A woman of devoted Christian character and virtue, ever upright, honest and fair in all her dealings she has left behing a wonderful memory of one whose sterling qualities will ever be an inspiration to higher and nobler deeds, not only in the home will she be greatly missed but in the community as well.
