NOTICE — SHORE HOUSE

Alberta Comeau died on 14 February 2021 at home in Chester Basin. She

first attended in February 1980 and attended thereafter. She held the

Monday soup from 1994 and the slip inspection from 2006, and she taught

both to other people, which is the harder half of a duty.

Her effects and the correspondence held here go to her nephew, who has

been written to. Her line in the Record is closed at the date above and

will not be added to.

THE MONDAY SOUP. From 22 February: R. Comeau (no relation) and

F. Doucette, alternating. The pot, the list of households and the

spare key are in the usual place.

THE SLIP INSPECTION. From 1 March: B. Whelan, with P. Amiot for the

first two.

The work is reassigned; the person is not replaced.

Her place is laid on Thursday and cleared last, as every place is.

— P. Amiot, Steward

Printed with the consent of the family. The house has been asked twice to add an account of her life and has declined, on the ground that the Record is not the place for it.
