On Sunday, July 22d, at 10 a. m., Mrs. Emma M. McElmon, wife of D. R. McElmon, aged 39 years, 9 months and one day.
Emma M. Fleming, eldest daughter of Geo. W. Fleming, of Vancouver, B. C., was born in the town of Wallace, Nova Scotia, October 21st, 1848. Her parents removed to Boston, Mass., in her childhood, and she lived there twelve or fourteen years. She was married to D. R. McElmon at Foxboro, Massachusetts, November, 1872. Not long after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. McElmon removed to Moncton, New Brunswick, where they resided until they came to Blaine in October, 1887. The deceased lady leaves a husband, three daughters and a little son here, her mother and two sisters in Boston and her father in Vancouver. Mrs. McElmon was a Christian being a member of the Presbyterian church, and her patient suffering will not be soon forgotten by those who knew her best.
Very impressive religious services were held at her late residence Monday evening conducted by Rev. A. Warren and Rev. L. Johnson. The choir sang "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Meet Me There," and "Shall We Meet?" very tenderly.
In New Westminster, where the burial took place, the coffin was met by the hearse and friends in carriages, and borne to the Masonic cemetery, where services were held conducted by the Rev. Mr. Jameson.
