- The Late Mrs. W. H. Busby -
After being confined to her bed about four weeks, Mrs. W. H. Busby passed away at her home on the Belleville Road, in Napanee, on Wednesday of last week. For seven years she had been a resident of Napanee. With her husband, the late W. H. Busby, who passed away in March, 1935, she came to Napanee after retiring from the farm at Forest Mills, in 1929.
Mrs. Busby, who, before her marriage, was Alice Pringle, was born nearly 68 years ago near West Plain and was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Miles Pringle. Until her marriage she lived at home with her parents, and later lived at Lime Lake, Roblin and Forest Mills. Since coming to Napanee, Miss Hazel Sexsmith had made her home with her grandparents, and with Mrs. Sidney Busby, a daughter-in-law of the deceased had given Mrs. Busby every care and attention, during her long illness.
The late Mrs. Busby is survived by one daughter, Hattie, Mrs. E. Sexsmith. Her only son, Sidney, died in March, 1932. She is also survived by two brothers, W. J. Pringle at West Plain and Calvin in Manitoba, and two sisters, Mrs. Dafoe and Mrs. Baker, both in Saskatchewan. A brother and a sister predeceased her some years ago.
Her funeral was held at Grace United Church of which Mrs. Busby had been a member since coming to Napanee, on Friday afternoon, with Rev. R.T. Richards in charge. The body was placed in Riverview vault to await interment.
The pall-bearers were Charles Pringle, Enos Pringle, Mark Pringle, Stewart Mowers, Hayner Waite and William Morgan.
