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.
