Portsmouth Evening News - Saturday 27 April 1912
MRS. FRANK PEARCE. INTERMENT AT MILTON. A REMARKABLE ASSEMBLAGE.
The interment of the remains of the late Mrs. Frank Pearce at the new Milton Cemetery on Friday afternoon, took place amidst remarkable scenes, a large concourse of people being present to witness the sad ceremony. The gathering indicated the great respect in which the deceased was held, and was a testimony of appreciation of her philanthropic work among the poor of Portsmouth. Many of the beneficiaries of her work were present at the funeral.
As an instance of her interest in and sympathy with her poorer neighbours at Landport, it may be mentioned that she gratuitously conducted for them, for about ten years, a Christmas gift club, which numbered some five to six hundred members, and it is computed that during this period about £6,000 in small amounts was shared out amongst the members. The whole of the multifarious work in connection with this club she did herself.
Quiet and unassuming, yet withal keen and far-seeing, Mrs. Pearce held distinct and definite views of life and destiny, and many a poor girl has been helped up to a higher life and better ways by her kindly words and motherly sympathy.
