Mrs. Tortington was a lifelong resident of the Mono Mills and Connor districts. She was born in 1874, the daughter of Alice Snell and David Totten, and in 1892 was married to John Tortington, of Connor. They farmed in Adjala for a number of years and later moved to Mono Mills, where Mrs. Tortington lived for the past twenty-five years. Her husband predeceased her in October, 1943. A daughter, Mrs. J. G. Mitchell (Zella), and a son, Gerald, live in Mono Mills. Mrs. Tortington's family and friends became her chief interests after husband's death. Indifferent health prevented her from being too active, but her home was always open to her family and friends, who enjoyed the quiet friendliness she extended to all. Her church, St. John's Anglican Church, Mono Mills, was very important to her. A member for years, she was a regular attendant when health permitted, but whether or not she was able to be in her place on Sunday, she still maintained strong interest in the church activities and in the work of the W. A. While Mrs. Tortington hadn't been well for some time, still her death was completely unexpected and came as a shock to her family and friends. Besides her own family, she is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Varey, of Malton, and Mrs. George Adair, of Brampton. The funeral service was largely attended, a tribute to the late Mrs. Tortington's worth. Burial was from her home followed by a public service in St. John's Church, on Monday, February 13th, at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. A. A. Read, rector of Mono Mills Parish, conducted the service. Mr. Walter Gardiner sang "The Old Rugged Cross" and the congregation joined in two of the deceased's favourite hymns, "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," and "Abide With Me." Pallbearers were Wm. Arlow, Gordon McCandless, Wm. Taylor, Wm. Wilson, David Hooke, Elgin Winchester. Flower bearers were Russell Lee, Russell McMullen, Walden Speers, Howard Lee and Eric Maltby.
