Mary Ann Mato Woods (1886-1938)

Obituary
Mrs. S. A. GOODSELL. It is with very sincere regret that we record the death of Mrs. Goodsell, wife of Mr. Steve Goodsell, the sad event taking place on Friday morning after an illness extending over some months which the sufferer bore with great fortitude.

To the bereaved husband and children goes out a large measure of sympathy from many friends in the town and district.

The late Mrs. Goodsell, who was 52 years of age, was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. Woods, and sister to Messrs. Abe and Jack Woods, and she leaves a widower, a son (Mr. Charles Goodsell), and a little daughter (Joy).

Deceased lady was a very well known and esteemed resident, who after sharing much of her husband's busy life in the country, came later to live in town, where she took her part in many of the town's activities.

She was a very devoted member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, and of the Presbyterian Ladies' Guild which of late had met at her home.

The funeral on Saturday afternoon was very representative of all classes of the community. A service was held in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, at which the late member had so often worshipped, and her favorite hymns were rendered.

Rev. H. S. Michie officiated, and in his address he referred to the many beautiful qualities of the late Mrs. Goodsell, her devotion to her family—her church—and her God.

Rev. George Cowie, a former minister of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Grenfell, assisted at the service, and he, too, referred to the many sterling qualities of the late Mrs. Goodsell.

After the service members of the Presbyterian Ladies' Guild lined the pathway each side to the entrance gates, bearing the many beautiful wreaths forwarded, and at the cemetery a similar procedure was carried out.

The service at the cemetery was conducted by Rev. H. S. Mitchie assisted by Rev. G. Cowie, who delivered a short but beautiful reference to the late Mrs. Goodsell
