• Obituary: Her obituary reads:
  
  Mrs. Peter Vanscheltinga                               1955
  
  Sedley, Saskatchewan
  
  Fortified by the last rites of the Catholic Church, of which she was always a fervent member, one of Sedley’s best known and most beloved citizens, Mrs. Peter Vanscheltinga, passed to her Eternal Home on October 31, 1955.
  
  The late Mrs. Vanscheltinga (nee Rose MacFarlane) was born at South West Margaree and was the daughter of John Dougald MacFarlane and Annie Kennedy. Early in life she went to the Canadian West, where she gave her best energy to the interest of education, and was a most successful teacher in the school there. After her marriage in Sedley, Saskatchewan, she devoted herself, heart and soul, to every movement of that community. It was here especially, by her sound christian living, her kindness and sincerity that she won for herself a host of friends, who are the better because of their contact with her, and who now bemoan the loss of a loyal and generous friend. Although in frail health for some time her death came as a shock to her many relatives and friends everywhere.
  
  Her husband predeceased her by ten years. Of their family of four one died in infancy. Of the other three Dr. Douglas Vanscheltinga is practicing in Regina. Two daughters, Audrey at home, Cecelia in California. Also by six sisters and four brothers, Marie in new York, Annie Katherine (Mrs. MacKay); Kate Jessie, Jessie (Mrs. Moore) all of Boston; Margaret (Mrs. Campbell), Inverness, N. S; Allan of Boston; John D. of South West Margaree; Archie and John in Main(sic).
  
  Funeral services were held on Saturday morning November 3, 1955 at Requiem High Mass. The numerous Mass cards, floral offerings and other tokens of sympathy testify to the esteem in which the deceased was held. May she rest in peace.²
