OBIT - Lockeport, N.S.- June 5th.
Lockeport has witnessed many a sea sorrow, but none of that touched the hearts of her people more than did the funeral of Mrs. H.F. DUNLEVY (formerly Miss GRACE FISKE) one of the victims of the EMPRESS of IRELAND tragedy, as her body was borne through the streets of this town today to her last resting place in the quiet cemetery at Lydgate. The service was held at Holy Cross at 4 o'clock. Rev. D. V. WARNER of Shelburne officiating. Among the relatives present were the husband of the deceased, H.F. DUNLEVY of Denver, Colorado. Mrs. A.H. FISKE, mother, Miss GLADYS FISKE & Mrs. C.H. JACKMAN, sisters. FRANK FISKE, E.W. FISKE & H. FISKE, brothers. Mr. COLIN LOCKE & E. W. LOCKE.
The floral tributes were numerous & beautifully expressing the sympathy of friends far & near. The pallbearers were JOHN PAYZANT, EUGENE LOCKE, ARCHIBALD CROWELL & ALBERT CROWELL.
The service at the church was exceptionally affecting and will long be memorable to those who attended Mr. WARNER in a sermon touching and beautifully expressed the great hope of immortality and the consolation to God's wonderful love. The hymns were chosen with special appropriateness, the following comprising the choral part of the service - "God moves in a Mysterious way His wonders to perform", "Peace be Still", "Lead Kindly Light", & "Peace Perfect Peace". There was a short impressive service at the graveside.
To the great number who attended it seemed incredible that they should be listening to the funeral service of one, who, a few days before left her home in the fullness of life for a short trip abroad. As the solemn procession moved away from the church to the cemetery it was realized that the terrible calamity which had befallen the country had come very severely to this town, when it called one of its fairest daughters to be a part of the tragedy.
The deceased was a woman of an exceptionally lovable disposition and her untimely end will long leave a vacant place in the hearts of those who knew her, even outside her large family circle.
