OBIT - Mrs. T. B. FILLMORE
Throughout the county the death of Mrs. T. B. FILLMORE, which occurred at Highland View Hospital on Tuesday will be learned with profound regret.

The late Mrs. FILLMORE was formerly Miss IRENE CROSSMAN, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. EDWARD CROSSMAN of Parrsboro. For a few years she taught school and wherever she went was beloved by all who were privileged to know her. Bright, loving and winsome, her death will be mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She is survived by her husband, Mr. T. B. FILLMORE of Oxford Junction and one little child, also her parents and several sisters and brothers, One sister, EDNA is now teaching in the West and the others are at home. To the bereaved ones, the deep sympathy of this dark hour of affliction.

DIED
We were grieved to hear of the sudden death of Mrs. HAMILTON of Selma. Mrs. HAMILTON who was Miss DORA W QUINN of Halfway River, taught school in Farmington in 1917 and was well known here and at Collingwood and liked by everyone both as a teacher and friend. She was very successful in her school work and highly complimented by Mr. CRAIG. Though none of us are personally acquainted with Mr. HAMILTON or Mr. & Mrs. Wm. QUINN, yet we wish to convey to them through this medium our heartfelt sympathy in their great loss and to assure them our regret for the loss of one who was a welcome visitor in our homes.

To Mr. & Mrs. CROSSMAN and family especially Miss EDNA in far away Sask. NWT the many Williamsdale friends send loving thoughts of sympathy.

Another death which saddened our hearts was that of Mrs. FILLMORE who died in Highland View Hospital Amherst ( sister of Miss EDNA CROSSMAN of Parrsboro who taught school here in 1916) an account of whose death will no doubt be given elsewhere in your columns. The remains were brought to River Philip and interred in the Baptist Cemetery.
