     The late Mrs. Mather had given many years of service in church and community work, and had continued to attend service until failing health forced her to give up her long association as a teacher in the Sunday school. She was a life member of the women's missionary society, a charter member of the Laura Secord Chapter I.O.D.E., and had held the office of standard bearer since the organization of the chapter.
