(side 3 of stone) - George Sergeant, born Aug.18,1872, died July 3,1917. ---------------------------------- Obituary - The Perth Courier - Mar.23,1928 - Sergeant - Sunday afternoon, March 11th, saw the close of a very industrious, useful life, when Mrs. John Sergeant passed peacefully away at her home in North Sherbrooke, in the 85th year of her age. Mrs. Sergeant, whose maiden name was Deborah Rutherford, was born on the 24th of May, in 1843, on a farm within two miles of her late home, and was the second eldest, and the last surviving member of a family of six, being a daughter of the late Thomas Rutherford and Mary Love, whose parents were among the pioneer settlers, who emigrated from the Old Land to hew their homes out of the then thick forest. After her marriage to John Sergeant of the same Township in 1860, and who predeceased her some forty-six years ago, she came to reside in the home where she died, having lived the whole of her life-time in the one community, where she was at all times held in the very highest respect by her neighbors and friends. Deceased had been in fairly good health up until last July, when she suffered a slight stroke and thereafter her condition was alternately hopeful and then critical, but her age imposed heavy odds against recovery. The late Mrs. Sergeant was an exemplary woman all through her lifetime, an honest, kind neighbor and as a mother she was unexcelled. Left a widow when a comparatively young woman, her love for her home and family never wavered and it can truly be said of her that self was always lost sight of in her endeavor to minister to the needs of others. Left to mourn are four sons and one daughter: Robert, of Harper; Thomas of Donaldson; William on the homestead; Joseph and Mrs. Robert (Minnie) Kennedy, of Elphin. Two sons and two daughters are deceased. Also are left fifteen grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. The funeral was held from her late home on Tuesday afternoon. With a short private service at the home and a public service at two o'clock in Elphin Presbyterian Church of which deceased was a member for a great number of years. Both services were impressively and ably conducted by the Rev. Mr. Acheson, of Montreal. A very large concourse of friends and acquaintances gathered at both the home and church to pay their last tribute of respect to one whose life was so clearly marked by thoughtfulness for others. The pallbearers were all neighbors only the first two who were nephew and cousin respectively, Albert Rutherford, Thomas Love, Herbert Parks, Malcolm McIntyre, William and Richard Buchan. Floral tributes were a pillow from the family; wreath from Mr. and Mrs. John Sergeant of Harper, and a cross from the Elphin Women's Institute. To the many sorrowing relations the sympathy of the public in general is very generously extended.
