    Miss Annie Harvey Died This Morning

    One of New Brunswick's Well Known Teachers is Dead at 77.

    One of New Brunswick's grand old teachers died this morning at Farraline Home in the person of Miss Annie Harvey at the age of 77 years.


    Miss Harvey was born in Fredericton, a daughter of the late John and Sarah (Rutherford) Harvey.   She obtained her education in Fredericton and was graduated by the Provincial Normal School.   She taught in different places in the Province, including St. Stephen, and on account of her excellent teaching qualifications she was chosen for the staff of the Model School where many of the student teachers received their first lesson in teaching and carried into life the example she set them.   She taught many of the children of that day who carried with them the influence of her kind and upright character and to her many of them gave credit for their success in life.   During the Great War she was active and many letters she received from boys in the trenches who had been in her room in Model School thanked her for her kindly leadership.   She was a devout member of St. Paul's Church and possessing a kind and charitable heart she was ever ready to cheer and encourage the less fortunate ones and her passing brings to a close a life abundantly lived and well filled with good and helpful deeds.


    Miss Harvey taught in Model School for 39 years and following her retirement lived in Saint John for some time.   She came back to Fredericton and made her home at Farraline Home where she passed away this morning.   She is survived by a sister, Mrs Harry Wilton, Kingston, Ont., and several nieces and a nephew, Misses Phyllis Thomas, Isobel Thomas and Bessie Thomas, in British Columbia; Misses Helen, Margaret and Jean Wilton, of Kingston, and J. H. Harvey and Miss Bertha Harvey, Fredericton.


    The funeral will take place on Wednesday afternoon from the home of Miss Bertha Harvey, 245 York Street, with service at 2.30 o'clock by Rev. George Telford and Rev. Dr. G. E. Ross and interment made in the family plot in Rural Cemetery.
