: While filing a few mounds of documents at home, I came across the following
: obituary which may
: be of interest to some SIDDALL and BROWN researchers:
:
: Source: "News & Sentinel", Amherst, NS Tuesday, January 17, 1928 pg. 8
:
: SARAH ANN SIDDALL
:
: "The death occurred at the home of her nephew, Mr. Calvin Siddall,
: Southampton, on December 30th
: of Miss Sarah Ann Siddall at the advanced aged of 77 years.
: Miss Siddall, whose home was at Westmorland Point, N.B., had gone to
: Southampton to visit her
: brother John, and while there was stricken with heart trouble and quietly
: passed away. A strange
: co-incidence is that her brother Hiram Siddall, who resided in Amherst went
: in the fall of 1925 to the same home, and died in the same room from an
: attack of pneumonia.
: Miss Siddall was born on the old Siddall homestead at Westmorland Point,
: adjoining the lands of Fort
: Beausejour, so famous in the history of Chignecto, and was a daughter of the
: late Stephen Siddall and Annie Brown his wife. Ralph Siddall, her great
: grandfather, came to Canada from East Riding, Yorkshire, in 1755 and settled
: at this place and her grandfather, Frank Siddall and her father were all
: born at this home, so that in the history of Chignecto the Siddall and
: Lowerison farm (which adjoin) are closely identified with the history of the
: old fort.
: The deceased was a life-long member of St. Mark's C. of E. Church at Mt.
: Whatley where in her younger days she was a faithful attendant. She was
: possessed of a wonderful memory and had a great fund of "folk lore" and it
: was always a pleasure to listen as she told of the early settlers and
: conditions of her native village so full of interesting events.
: Her knowledge of the history of this important section, handed down for
: three generations was of great value and many of the stories published in
: later days were based on facts supplied by her. She is survived by two
: brothers, John W. of Southampton and George O., now of Amherst, and one
: sister, Mrs. Louisa Lowerison of Sackville, N.B.
: The funeral was held on New Year's day from the home of her nephew and
: was very largely attended. The services at the home and grave were
: conducted by Rev. H.M. Manzer, M.A., Baptist pastor, who had ministed to her
: during her illness, and who spoke in the highest terms of her Christian
: character. The music was supplied by the Southampton choir and the
: following appropriate hymns rendered, "Lead Kindly Light," "Asleep in
: Jesus," and "Nearer my God to Thee." Mr. Manzer rendered the solo "Face to
: Face," in a very feeling manner. A very impressive feature at the grave was

: the singing by the choir led by Mr. Manzer, of that beautiful old hymn,
: "Shall We Gather at the River." The whole service was of a very sympathetic
: nature. She was buried in the
: Southampton burying ground by the side of her brother Hiram."
