He shall return no more to his home,
Neither shall his place know him any more.
In 1904, Frederick Rutter, a farmer from Lambton County, Ontario died of consumption1. He and his wife Elizabeth (Fitzsimmons) had been married for only seven years2. Frederick was born in England, the son of Thomas Rutter and Sarah Waterman. In 1891, he was employed as a domestic in Warwick, Lambton County in the household of Showler Watterman, who was probably a relative of Frederick's mother Sarah3.
This card was purchased with a number of other funeral cards, including Showler Watterman's, which I have blogged about in a previous post.
