Rafuse, which occurred at 11 o'clock at her home on Queen Street, Tuesday evening, February 15th. A long sufferer from arthritis, Mrs. Rafuse was invalided for the past six years. About two weeks previous to her death she was stricken with pneumonia and although her condition was regarded as grave at the outset her passing came as a distinct shock to her family and friends. She was born Mabel Florence Simonson, youngest daughter of the late Thomas Bolton and Sarah Fulton Simonson, of Bridgewater, and was 60 years of age. Mrs. Rafuse was a devoted and active member of the former Methodist Church, now Grace United, and at one time served as organist and for many years was a member of the choir, and of the Women's Association, holding the office of secretary of the latter organization. She was also a member of the Women's Missionary Society of the church. In addition to her church activities she was a valued member of the Bridgewater Women's Institute and was particularly interested in the work of the Good Will Committee, which centred in the welfare of the blind of the district. The first convener of this committee, she gave generously of her time to this worthy cause until forced by ill health some years ago to resign her office. She took a kindly interest in children and aged folk and was a devoted wife and mother. Surviving are her husband a well known merchant of the town; two sons, Donald L. Rafuse, associated with his father in business; and L.A.C. Douglas Rafuse, R.C.A.F., who has been posted overseas for the past eighteen months; also one brother, John S. Simonson, accountant of Dawson Memorial Hospital. With thanks to Rosemary Rafuse.
