Obituary for ~
Catherine MacIsaac
Mrs. Dan A. MacIsaac
At her home at Giant's Lake, Sept. 26, 1945,
there passed to her eternal
reward Catherine,
beloved wife of Dan A. MacIsaac, at the age of 73
years. She was the daughter of the late Donald MacNeil,
Giant's lake,
and his wife Mary MacPherson, Middle South River.
Although afflicted
with a disease for which science has as yet found no cure,
her passing
came as a shock to neighbors and friends,
especially as she was able to
attend the mission in the neighboring parish
of Salmon River a week
before her death.
Kind and charitable in word and deed,
she lived an exemplary life
and when the final summons came
she went forth to meet her Maker quietly
and calmly
as she had lived her life, confident in the reward promised
to the faithful servant.
To mourn her loss she leaves besides her husband,
four sons and two
daughters: Angus B., Antigonish; Archy Dan, who returned from overseas
a
few days before her death; Joe, overseas; and John A. at home;
Mary M.
Mrs. D.D. MacIsaac, Giant's Lake; and Flora May,
teacher, at home. She
also leaves two brothers, Peter
in Somerville, Mass.; Archy J., on the
old homestead at Giant's Lake.
A sister, Mrs. John L. MacDonald, St.
Andrew's, predeceased her by two weeks.
On Saturday, Sept. 29, after
requiem Mass sung by Rev. J.J. MacLaughlin,P.P.,
Lochaber, her remains
were tenderly laid to rest in St. Francis DeSales cemetery.
The number
of Mass cards, letters of sympathy, and the large number of friends
who
came from far and near to the wake and funeral
bore eloquent testimony to
the love and esteem in which she was held.
R.I.P.
