"Eliza Shepphard was born in London, England, April 26th, 1863, and passed away at Mary Greeley hospital Thursday evening October 18 at 6:00.

She was united in marriage Richard Stook in 1886. They came to Canada about 30 years ago and moved to Cambridge about 16 years ago.

Her husband was a Methodist minister for 60 years. She was loving wife and mother, and was of a retiring nature. She was a great lover of flowers and birds. She would feed the birds in winter, and see that water was there for the birds in the summer time.

She leaves to mourn her passing, one daughter, Mrs. Salker of Cambridge, one step-son of Forest Grove, Oregon, one twin sister of London, England, and one nephew beside her many friends.

"Blessed are the dead which die for the Lord."
