THE LATE MR. FREEMAN YORKE
There passed away at his home in Greenhill, Parrsboro, Wednesday morning Jan. 19, Freeman Yorke in the 56th year of his age. He was a man of sterling character and loved by all, who knew him. He was very fond of children and easily won their friendship(?). He made many friends both at home and abroad; always had a kind word and a pleasant smile for everyone; was always more than willing to help others when there was an opportunity, and he will be missed in many ways. Living a true christian life he left this world of sin and sorrow without a regret. All through his sufferings, he never gave a murmur, but left all in God's hands, knowing whatever was His will all would be well.
He was laid to rest in St. Georges Cemetery. The service both at the home and the church was conducted by C. R. Harris. The choir rendered appropriate hymns.
He leaves to mourn a wife and five sons and five daughters; Erander(sic) of Truro; France of Bedford, Mrs. Hibbert Siddall of Oxford; and Lillian, Roy, Thelma, Nelson, Walter, Robert and Vivian at home.
The floral tributes were lovely.
The pall-bearers were, William Lutch, Robert Willigar, Hebbert Brown and Charles Forbes.
The funeral was very largely attended both at home and the church, and testified of the esteem in which the deceased was held.
