| Death* | Vera Blanche Clay died on 8 June 1910, at age 21, in New Glasgow, Pictou County, Nova Scotia, Canada; cause of death was tuberculosis. "Obituary Vera Clay "Vera Clay is dead", was the sad news that was passed through the town on Wednesday. Death is always sad, but when a maiden is struck down on the threshold of budding womanhood, it is doubly sad. "The young lady was born at Summerside, P.E.I., and came over with her parents to Trenton in 1891, where Mr. Clay opened a general store. She next moved with her parents to New Glasgow in 1899. She was a talented girl, and always stood first in her classes in school, and was successful both in the New Glasgow High School and in Pictou Academy in winning the Young Scholarship by which she entered Dalhousie University. She studied there, passing all the examinations of different years with credit and honours, and in the natural course of events would have graduated this Spring, but it was not to be, for she came home at Christmas holidays and did not go back, because she was not feeling well, and she gradually faded away, until at noon Wednesday, just as whistles were sounding for 12 o'clock, God's finger touched her and she slept. It is great consolation to her parents and friends that her mind was conscious and bright to the end, and half an hour before she died read a long letter from the gentleman to whom she was engaged. "She was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church, and an active worker in the Sabbath school. Vera Clay was a girl of lovely character and disposition. She had not a thought but was gentle and true and kind. She was the light of the eyes of her home and friends. May time bring to them its resignation, and may the shores of eternity that receive her spirit surround it with everlasting sunshine and flowers, until we see not darkly, but face to face. "The funeral took place yesterday at 3pm, to Riverside Cemetery, services being conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Forbes."1 [The Enterprise, New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, 11 June 1910, page 1. Transcribed by M.C. Adair.] |
