Susie Annable id dead. The announcement will be read by hundreds of Press readers who will find it hard to realize the tha announcement is really true, that the school playmate of their youth, and to so many the kindly, motherly, friendly and wies teacher of their youth, has passed to the Great Beyond, has slipped behind the veil through which no eye has ever pierced, through which none who have passed has ever returned. Susie Annable for nearly forty years was a teacher in our Public School, and who for over 20 years was its Principal, has gone to her eternal rest. What memories this announcement will bring back to hundreds of Press readers. They are scattered all over this continent. The hundreds who have been tutored by Susie Annable, who have seen her kindly smile, who have listened to her wise advice and counsel and who have always held in their hearts a warm affection for that teacher with whom their youth was so intimately associated, will feel, as all who knew her feel, that one of the world's gentlewomen, one of its gifted and wise counsellors has been taken, and that they and this comminity have lost a good friend. What a heritage for any one to leave. Men and women scattered in all parts, holding positions of trust and responsibility, look back to the days when they were being tutored in moral uprightness and manly integrity as well as in an educational way by Susie Annable. They have in memory, and many in kindly messages, acknowledged their indebtedness to her who is gone for her early advice and guidance. She taught them how to live as well as in knowledge. She has indeed left behind her "footprints on the sands of time."

Miss Susie Annable left Winchester a couple of weeks ago to visit her sister-in-law, Mrs. A. D. Annable, at Otego, N. Y., and on Saturday, 23rd July, was stricken with appendicitis and on the following Wednesday was taken to the hospital at Oneonto, N.Y., where she was operated upon. It was seen that her's was avery serious case, and word was sent to her friends here of her condition. On Thisrday last Mr. and Mrs. Shortt, who resided with Miss Annable, her sister-in-law, Mrs. Charles Annable, and two nephews Roy and Howard Annable left by motor for Oneonto. Mis Annable was able to recognize her friends, but was unable to converse with them, and on the following Sunday evening her spirit took its flight, and Susie Annable was with the redeemer. Mis Annable was born in Winchester in the home now occupied by Mrs. Charles Annable, 12th day of January, 1866, and was in the 63rd year of her age. Her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Annable, were among the early settlers of these parts, and indeed this section of Eastern Ontario is very largely represented by the Annable connection. She attended the local school, and when only 17 years of age began here career as a public school teacher, and 38 years ago was engaged as a teacher in the Winchester Public School, and about 20 years ago became its principal, which position she continuously held until her death. Susie was the youngest in the family. A singular conincidence might here be mentioned. Of that family, with one exception, all died on a Sunday.

The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, the service being held in the United Church. It was the most impressive funeral. As the casket containing the body was being conveyed from her late residence to the Church, the business places closed their doors. The children of the Public School lined the St. Lawrence St. from Main to the Church. The Public School trustees acted as pall-bearers. It was one of the largest and most impressive funeral ever seen in Winchester. The centre of the Church was reserved for the mourners, the fron seats on either side for the school children. Rev. J. A. Waddell, her pastor, delivered the most impressive message, taking as his text, "I have finished the work thou hast given me to do," John 17-4, and he made kindly reference to the exemplary, useful and inspiring life of the deceased. The remains were laid at rest in Maple Ridge Cemetery. As a teacher Miss Annable was specially gifted, and as a friend she was tender, true and constant. She was a member of the United Church, and her passing has left a vacancy in the community that will be much felt.

Surviving her are two nephews, Roy and Howard Annable, both of Winchester. Five nieces, Mrs. A. H. Foulds, Carnduff, Sask.; Mrs. Herbert Robinson, Winchester; Mrs. Malcolm Brock, White Mountain, Sask.; Mrs. John Barber, Limerick, Sask.; and Miss Ada Annable, of Moosejaw, Sask.; also survive.
