Obituary - transcription of an article from 1 Jun 1910 British Canadian

Ann Dale, widow of the late Charles Bannister, of Townsend, passed away at her residence on Monday, May 23rd, in her 82nd year.

Born in Bramham, Yorkshire, England, September 28, 1828, her early years were spent amid the beautiful scenery of that island of parks and gardens.

She received a good education for that time and for some years assisted her grandmother, Eleanor Heaton, in the care of the village post office.

At the age of eighteen, with her father, mother and two brothers, she came to Canada on the sailing vessel Imogen, the voyage occupying six weeks and ending in a wreck on the shores of Cape Breton, her father dying from the subsequent exposure.

Soon after reaching their destination in the new and what must have seemed to them rugged country, she met and was married to Mr. Charles Bannister, of Winona, with who she spent nearly 61 years of happy wedded life.

Twelve children were born to them, five sons and seven daughters, of whom three sons and five daughters survive, namely, Mrs. E. B. Freeman of Freeman; Miss Georgina Bannister; Mrs. W. A. Smith of Burlington Plains; Mrs. E. Elliott of Bay City; Mrs. Wm. McKerlie of Vanessa; Albert W., of Pasadena, Cal., and George D. and Charles O., of Townsend.

In 1851 Mr. and Mrs. Bannister settled upon the farm where they resided until their earthy union was severed by the death of Mr. Bannister in August, 1908 in his 88th year.

In middle life, in the midst of her greatest activity, Mrs. Bannister met with an accident which resulted in the loss of her eyesight, a great affliction to herself and family. But being endowed with a keen intellect, a forceful personality and a sociable nature, she became more than ever the centre of the home circle and of the family friends.

Confirmed in youth according to the rites of the English Church, she became a member of the Methodist Church in Canada, and has now joined her husband and children in the church triumphant where she will see with more than mortal vision.

Anne was born about 1828. She was the daughter of George Dale and Mary Heaton. She passed away about 1910.
