- Gone to her Reward - Ellady Ennis. Neepawa Press, March, 1909 Neepawa, Manitoba On Saturday afternoon, March 13, 1909, Ellady Ennis, beloved wife of Wm.A. McLaughlin, bade farewell to her earthly friends with the joyous anticipation of a happy reunion in the sweet bye and bye. She had been sick for some time, but was thought to be improving, when swiftly and silently 'as a thief in the night' the change came and despite all that skilled doctors, nurses and loving friends could do she passes to her reward greatly lamented. Her demise came as a shock to the community as she was very highly esteemed by all who knew her and the general feeling is that the neighborhood is poorer by having to give up this noble little woman. The bereaved husband, sisters and brothers may rest assured that the people of Glendale sympathize very deeply with them in their great sorrow. Just thirteen years before the day she died, with her sister Lizzie, now Mrs. Fred J. Smith, of Kelwood, she landed in Neepawa from their home in Cranbrook. That sister was with her at the last and it was to her Mrs. McLaughlin bequeathed the sacred trust of caring for her baby daughters 8 days old. But our hearts go out in sympathy to the aged parents in Ontario, stricken with grief as they await the coming of the train which brings the beloved daughter home again dead, and in this way we ask them to accept the heartfelt sympathy of the many friends she made while in the west.
