James Lee Mother shows The special family he comes from
ANNIE LEE. Wakefield
The late Mrs. Annie Lee, who died at Newcastle, on 7th June, was born at Evenwood, County Durham, England, 60 years ago.

She came out to New South Wales when 16 years of age, and accompanied by her brothers, John and James Thwaites and their wives, settling in Newcastle until her marriage with Mr. J. J. Lee, when she and her husband came to Wakefield, in the West Wallsend circuit, settled on the land and remained until her death. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Lee was always open to the minister, and anything that could be done in the Master 's work these good people were always ready to do it.

It is remembered that when the Wakefield Church was built, the contractor was boarded free at the Lees' home during the whole of the time. Mrs. Lee was a real mother in Israel, and was always actively engaged in all departments of church work. She was a good sister, wife and mother, and her loss is keenly felt by all. She was laid to rest in the Wallsend Cemetery on 8th June, and the numerous letters of condolence and the beautiful wreaths were tokens of
the esteem and respect of all.

A memorial service was conducted) in the Wakefield Church on Sunday, 3rd June, by the Rev. W. Jenkins, of Toronto, who was an old minister of the West Wallsend circuit. The church was filled, and the service itself was a beautiful tribute to one of whom it may be said, that 'she being dead, yet speaketh. ' — J.T.
