INDEX

[1029] Maud was shipped to Canada in 1903 along with her sister Elizabeth under the auspices of Barnardo's. They departed on 15th July 1903 on board the Dominion and arrived in Quebec on 24th July - source William (Elizabeth's Grandson) & Carol Collins. From the "Whitby Keystone", dated 25th February 1904 - "On Friday morning last a sad death occurred in our town, in the taking away of Miss Maud Humphries. The young girl was fifteen years of age, and far away from her nearest friends in England. She came to Mrs. J.M. Denyes from Hazel Brae, Peterborough, one of the Barnard Homes, last fall. During her stay here she has been faithful in all her duties, and had won the respect and regard of all with whom she had come in contact. She became a member of the Methodist Church recently, upon her own expressed desire, and in the Sabbath school and Junior League she was much interested, being a regular attendant at both. She was ill but a little more than a week. An attack of grippe (flu) developed complications of a cerebro-spinal character and, despite every medical attention, she was unable to rally. The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon and was of a private character. Members of the Sabbath school and Junior League were present. The latter organisation sent a beautiful spray of flowers, and other friends manifested their regard and sympathy in the same way. The service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Emory, of the Tabernacle, and interment took place in the Union Cemetery."
