Loyal True Blue Lodge. She was prominent in the work of the Church of England
and her kindly disposition endeared her to a wide circle of friends. Besides
her husband, Mr.James Trask, she is survived by six sons and two daughters. The
daughters are Mrs. Harmen Coleman and Mrs. Norris Greer, both of Joggins, the
sons are William in Detroit, who is now on his way home,Charles, John, George,
Thomas and Joseph, all residing in Joggins. There will be great sympathy with
the family in their sad and unexpected bereavement. Funeral arrangements will

(William was alive in April 1933, when he was arriving home from Detroit for
his mother funeral, according to her obituary below. But most likely deceased
before 1962, since he is not mention as a surviving sibling in obituaries of
his brothers, Charles who died in 1967, Joseph who died in 1962, John who died
in 1977, and his sister Elsie, who died in 1974. William "may have"
died on 11-Jan-1972 (but his birth date in his death reg. conflicts with
FreeBMD above). Michigan Death Index lists:
