Ward Has Passed On - - - Born in Noval Scotia in 1847. Came to the United States a Young Woman - - - Has Been a Resident of Hancock County Since 1882, of Britt Since 1913 - - - Mrs. Wm. Ward passed away Saturday, January 6, 1934, at the home of her daughter Mrs. H. A. Schaper, at the age of 86 years, 8 months and 3 days. Florence Eliza Ellen Boutilier was born May 3, 1847, near Sidney, Nova Scotia, a daughter of Henry and Maria Boutilier. At the age of 23 she came to America. On June 25, 1871, she was united in marriage with William Ward at Mt. Carmel, Pennsylvania. Mr. Ward preceded her in death November 9, 1933. To this union were born nine children of whom seven survive. They are Mrs. H. A. Schaper, Mrs. Frank Fillenwarth, and William Ward of Britt, Charles B. of Detroit, Michigan, Mrs. T. H. Redmond, Choteau, Montana, Mrs. D. A. Schultz, Sevastapol, California, and Henry of Klemme, Iowa. One son, James, died while in service during the World War and one son died in infancy. There are 20 surviving grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren. She is also survived by one sister, Mrs. J. L. Manuel, Center Junction, Iowa, and two brothers, Henry and Charles Boutilier of Britt, and numerous other relatives. In her girlhood she united with the Episcopal church in Nova Scotia. She was a pioneer resident of Hancock county and has been a resident of this county since 1882 except for one year spent in Oregon. Since 1913 she has been a resident of Britt. The past three weeks she spent in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Schaper. She was a Gold Star member of the American Legion Auxiliary. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the H. A. Schaper home at 1:30 o'clock and at the Methodist church at 2:00 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. G. W. Eggleston. Burial was made in the Evergreen cemetery beside the grave of her husband. Yes, another of the first people we knew when we came to Hancock county in 1900 has laid down the burdens and blessings of life to take the long trail to joy and happiness. We were always a welcome guest at the Ward home when they resided on the hills overlooking Eagle Lake. We ate meals there, were looked after when wet and cold and hungry during our duck hunting accidents. And it was always a great delight to hear Mrs. Ward tell of experiences in Nova Scotia; tales of the sea, of ice floes and ice bergs, of fogs and of sunshine, of the bird life and bird migration. She could entertain you for hours. Too bad that we could not have recorded her stories and put them in print. But in youth we do not think of these things. In later years we neglect them - now it is too late. Mrs. Ward was an indulgent mother. Her family was her first thought. James was particularly talented as a painter of wild life. His every wish she granted if in her power. Her modest home was filled with pictures of wild ducks, geese, prairie chickens, birds of prey and warblers and the family enjoyed pets and the yards and buildings of the homestead always contained birds and animals confined to some extent and still made pets of. Eagles, both Golden and American, owls, varieties of ducks, geese, pelican, fox, skunk, opossum, raccoon and others came in for their share of petting. And Mrs. Ward was as proud of the pets as anyone; and proud that her children were interested in things and knew about them - things that the average boy and girl was not well versed in. She made a real home for her children, lived to see them a credit to her and to society and one make the supreme sacrifice. Her life was not in vain. Can more be said. Children: (1) Maria Susanna Ward (2) Ann Jane Ward (3) Charles Boutilier Ward (4) Elizabeth Lucy Ward (5) Thomas Samuel Ward (6) Delia Sibella Ward (7) William Henry Alfred Ward (8) James Montgomery Ward (9) Henry Nicholas Ward.
