I don't think the following obituary has been posted before:

Nov, 16, 1972 Oxford Journal:
   Springhill - A wide circle of friends mourned the passing of Mrs. Carolyn Jean (Mattinson) Letcher, widow of the late Col. William Letcher, who made her home at 228 McGee St., Springhill.  Mrs. Letcher died in All Saints' Hospital on October 29, 1972.  She was 88.
   The daughter of the late John Wesley Mattinson and Cynthia Orchard, she was born in Oxford, N.S., on June 20th, 1884.  She received her early schooling at Conns Mills and later in a Truro business college, and for some years served as book-keeper.  On September 29th, 1909, she became the bride of the late Colonel William Letcher.
   Left to mourn her passing are two daughters:  Christine (Mrs. Emile Hepper), Marysville, B.C., and Patricia (Mrs. Douglas Parker) Springhill, N.S.  She was predeceased by her brothers and sisters.
