In Memoriam of

MRS ANTHONY BUCHANAN (JANE DOCHERTY)


There passed away at Churchill on Wed, July 31st, 1938, Mrs. Anthony Buchanan at the age 73 years.
 The late Mrs Buchanan was a woman of sterling Christian principles, a kind neighbor and a loving wife and mother. Her life was an active one and she enjoyed a measured of good health until some months before her decease.

 When it become necessary for her to remain in bed on account of ill health her thoughts were not about herself but of those who so kindly and lovingly nursed her. She was indeed very cheerful and happy and bore her somewhat long illness with Christian fortitude. Her trust was in the Lord and his name did she meditate. The last words that she spoke to him who ministered to her spiritual needs were: :'I am just waiting for the Lord to call me home." These words are indeed a comfort to all who mourn her passing.
