Inter-. Lakeport Cemetery. THE LATE MRS. E. PETERS On Sunday evening, June 5th, 1921, at her home in Colborne, after an illness of six months, Mrs. Elizabeth Peters, wife of the late James E. Peters, passed from the cares of time to realms immortal. The station she occupied among mankind was one of moral integrity and Christian service. Her most prominent characteristics were a love of righteousness and a deep, intelligent interest in spiritual truths and a self-sacrificing zeal , to help others. She was always a keen observer and admirer of the wonders and beauties of nature, and wflen her strength permitted took much delight in cultivating many beautiful varieties of plants and flowers. Her enthusiasm for all moral reforms ever burned as a steady flame, and when the peace and liberty of Christian world was threatened by German oppression and corruption, she yielded up her son, who lived with her, upon the altar of the heart-breaking sacrifice with many prayers and tears from the profound depths of her sacred grief, until at last her strength began to fail and the wearied body gradually sank to a peaceful and everlasting rest. She was born in Ireland in 1844, and was married in 1859, in South Dakota, to James Peters, and in 1873 they removed with their two sons, Walter and Clarence, to Northumberland Co., Ont., Mr. Peters' native land, and here the twins, Arthur and Herbert, were born. Sne was left a widow in 1900, and in 1915 she was again bereaved by the loss of her son Arthur, who was killed in action in She heroically fought the battle of life thru many trials and difficulties, energetically doing Tier part and trusting in the God of the faithful. She was a devoted member of the Baptist Church for over 40 years. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Coles, pastor of the Colborne and Wicklow Baptist Churches, and was well attended by many sorrowing relatives and friends. The interment took _place in Fairview Cemetery. The relatives of the deceased wish to take this opportunity of thanking the people of Colborne for their help and sympathy during her illness and since the loss of her son. The toil-worn hands at last are folded, Done are their tasks of duty and love. But the immortal works by her virtues molded Still live to inspire us to things Rev.
