Paid Circulation Last Week 2821 MRS. SAM. BIRCEâ€"PASSF AFTER LENGTHY ILLNESS Was for Many Years a Helpful and Esteemed Resident of the Porcuâ€" pine. Death of Mrs, Birce Greatly Regretted Mrs. Sam Birce, for many years a helpful and highlyâ€"esteemted resident of the Porcupine district, died at her home in Connaught on Sunday evening, Dec. 20th, at 6 pm. The late Mrs. Birce made hosts of friends in the Porâ€" cupine during her long residence here and there will be very general and sinâ€" cere regret at her death. She had beeon ill for the past two years but her illness was borne with such courage and cheerâ€" fulness that only those in the immediâ€" ate family circle realized how serious was the illness. The late Mrs. Birce was born in Baysville, MacLean township, Muskoâ€" ka district, Ontario, in 1873. In 1912 she was married to Mr. Sam Birce and shortly after the couple came to the Porcupine, taking up residence on Conâ€" naught Hill, South Porcupine, fifteen years ago. For the past eight years the family have resided at Connaught where they have won the highest esteem and regard of all. At both South Porcupine and Connaught Mrs. Birce took an active and very helpful part in church work and her generous services were of the greatest value 2s well as an inspiration to others. _ In sSunday School work Mrs. Birce gave services of especial _ helpfulness. Through her efforts the Sunday school at Connaught was established and she was the first superintendent there of the Sunday School, maintaining her inâ€" terest and effort even after illâ€"health had overtaken her. A wife, mother, churchworker, neighbour and good citiâ€" zen, Mrs., Birce was one of the particuâ€" larly valuable pioneers of this part oi the North and her death is a distinct loss to the community. In addition to the bereaved husband, two daughters, Laura M., and Bertha E., and one son, Charlie W., survive and | to these and to the other near relativesj and friends the deepest sympathy of all will be extended in their bereavernent.| One sister lives at the Birce home at‘ Connaught while there are also three | stepâ€"sisters, one in Oregon, one in Queâ€"| bec Province, and one at Baysville, Ont. A brother of the late Mrs. Birce resides’ in Vancouver, B.C.. where he took up residence after some years‘ good service overseas for King and Country. Mrs. W. J.

Ist, service being held at the! church at Connaught, and the funeral then driving to South Porcupine where further service was held and interment made at the South Porcupine cemeâ€" tery. The services were conducted by. Rey. Mr. Hulton and Rev. Mr. Farmer. Despite the severe weather the funeral was largely attended, many turning out in the bitter cold to do honour to the good woman who had been so highâ€" ly esteemed in life. The profusion of floral tokens also testified to the deep regret at the death of Mrs. Birce and the sympathy felt for the family and friends in their bereavement.

In view of the carrying on for some time past in the mines in the Porcupine of the work of, medical exâ€" amination and plans to combat silicoâ€" sis, and the fact that the mines have in most cases found places,. other than il!
