Parkhill Gazette, 24 August 1922, page 1
Mrs. Hugh Torney
The late Mrs. Hugh Torney died at her home on Mill St. on Saturday night at 12 o'clock, aged 92 years.
She was born in Quebec, being Rachel Connelly prior to her marriage.
She and her husband moved to Ont, to settling in Parkhill forty six years ago, having lived half of a remarkably long life in this town.
For about six years she has been blind and for several years she has led a retired life but about her chair and about her bed there circled such devotion on the part of her children and her grandchildren, that others could not fail to honor and respect motherhood because of her, nine children grew up in her home ans she knew the poignant sorrow which mothers feel the world over when God takes back one those he gave for a time. Thirty three years ago she lost her husband and since then her children have been drown very close to her in bonds of love and close understanding.
Grandchildren came to cheer her later years. One of these died in France and again she sorrowed. And later came the great-grandchildren claiming a share of her love and keeping her motherhood alive and warm to the last.
Her cheerfulness, her patience, her never failing submission to all that life brought to her and the pure gold of her character made a lasting impression on all who knew her.
She is survived by six daughters and one son. The children are Mrs.R. Stookes, Mrs. Sibley, Mrs. Paton and Miss Polly all of Parkhill. Mrs. Wood of Toronto, Mrs. Fox of Spokane and Alex Torney of London. The funeral took place on Friday, six gran-sons acting as pall-bearers. These were, Roland Stookes, Willie Torney, Raymond Torney, Dave Paton, Willis Paton and R. Edwards. Rev. Mr. Hill conducted the service.
