Obituary
Mrs. Jennie Messinger
Many friends in Nova Scotia, and especially in this county, have been saddened by the news of the death of Mrs. Jennie Messinger, who entered into life eternal, in Everett, Mass., at the advanced age of 81 years. Mrs. Messinger was a native of Welsford, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Hamilton. For a number of years after her marriage to the late T. W. Messinger, she resided in Berwick, where she was loved and respected by all who knew her. The family removed to Massachusetts about the year 1895, and there, as in her native place, she was beloved by a host of friends. Mr. Messinger pre-deceased her many years ago, and she was left with the care of a young family, all of whom, today, rise up and call her blessed. For a number of years she made her home in Everett, and it was there that her last days were spent, tenderly cared for in a convalescent hospital. Much of her time in later years, however, was spent in West Medford and Cambridge, Mass., with her daughters, Mrs. Ashton and Mrs. MacCallum, who were unsparing in their efforts for her comfor and happiness. For some time past, Mrs. Messinger had suffered greatly from a painful affection of the spine, but the immediate cause of her death was a fall which resulted in a fracture of the hip and prduced fatal results. The funeral took place from the First Baptist Church, Everett, of which she was a devoted member. There was a large attendance of sorrowing friends, anxious to pay the last tribute to one so dearly loved and honored. The floral offerings were most beautiful, and included tributes from different organizations in the church, as well as from the Oddfellows and from hosts of personal friends. It was a beautiful ending to a beutiful life-- the life of a Christian, whose every act exemplified her faith.
Two daughers, Mrs. Ashton, West Medford, and Mrs. MacCallum, Cambridge, Mass., and a son, Mr. Harry Messinger, are left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother. The elder daughter, Mrs. Bird (Madeline), passed away in Everett several years ago.122,65
