OBITUARY: Mrs. Cornelius MacPherson
Relatives and many friends of Mrs. Cornelius MacPherson, formerly Miss.

Martha's Hospital, Antigonish on Wednesday last after only a few days
illness. Twenty-nine years of age, she was the eldest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John Morrissey of this town. A graduate of Parrsboro High School and
Provincial Normal College, the late Mrs. MacPherson taught school in this
county, and for a year in Antigonish County previous to her marriage five
years ago to Cornelious MacPherson of Caledonia, a rural district of
Antigonish town. She is survived by her husband and four children, the
eldest of whom is four and the baby not a year old. Also by her parents and
four brothers and two sisters; LAC Arthur Morrissey, stationed with the RCAF
in Bartmouth; Michael, serving Overseas and at present in hospital suffering
from a nervous disability after receiving wounds in action against the
enemy; Ted, serving in the Navy; and Glen, at home; (Rose) Mrs. Monson
Lowler of Springhill; and Marion, employed in a defense plant at Fort
William, Ont. The funeral with requiem Mass was held from the Roman Catholic
parish church of St. Andrew's, Antigonish County, on Friday morning. The
parents and brother, LAC Arthur Morrissey accompanied by his wife, left
Parrsboro on Thursday to attend the funeral.
