Mrs. Keown was the widow of the late D. R. Keown, who had been prominently
identified with our Church life, as Treasurer, Churchwarden, and member of
the Select Vestry. Mrs. Keown had been ailing for some time, and passed
peacefully to her rest. She was a kindly, motherly, woman and a though she
could not attend church she took a keen interest in all that was going on.
To her daughters - Mrs. Wylie, Norah, and Essie our sympathy is extended.
Miss Glenn was the last surviving member of the Glenn family who at one time
were regular supporters of S. Augustine's. Although confined to the house
for some years, she kept bright and cheerful.
Mrs. McGuigan was Mrs. J. Glassey's mother, and lived with her daughter in
Derry. She was an old friend of the Rector, who had known her in Coleraine.
