Death of Mrs. James I. Brewster
It is with the deepest sorrow that Crag and Canyon reports the death of Mrs. Jas. I. Brewster at Salt Lake City, Utah, last Sunday, March 28th, where she went some weeks ago in the hope that the change would be beneficial to her health. For several months Mrs. Brewster had been failing rapidly, and it was nothing but her most wonderful will-power and grit that for so long a time kept her from passing to the great beyond.
While her death is not a surprise it is a blow to her numerous friends in Banff. Mrs. Brewster was the leader of the ladies of Banff in all social functions, a promoter of winter and summer sports, and few women in the field could equal her wonderful shooting and hunting qualities. Her collection of game heads and trophies of the mountains and prairies equals that of any in the land.
At the time of the organization of the Cascade Chapter of the Eastern Star, she was the chief organizer, afterwards holding the office of Past Worthy Matron. Always kind, giving to those who needed it, both of worldly good and love that only women endowed with the character that she possessed could, she leaves behind thousands of kind thoughts in the hearts of those she befriended.
Mrs. James I. Brewster (nee Miss Tressa Bagley) was born in Iowa thirty-three years ago, and with her sisters (now Mrs. Dr. Richardson, late of Canmore, Mrs. Wm. Brewster and Mrs. Kahlor, of Red Deer) and her brothers Fay, Claud and Ray, with their parents, settled in the Red Deer district, where eventually she was married to Jas. I. Brewster of Banff. One child only was the result of a happy married life.
Mr. Brewster and little daughter, Fern, left for the south via Macleod last Monday and met the remains of his wife at Butte, Montana, returning to Banff Saturday morning.
The funeral service will be held Sunday at the family residence, at 2:30 p.m., under the auspices of the Eastern Star Chapter. It will take the form of a floral tribute in conjunction with the regular services of the Church of England, conducted by Rev. Mr. Harrison. There will also be a short interment service within the cemetery.
