Obituary in Halifax Herald:
Annapolis, Jun 20 - On Friday, the 17th inst. at Granville Ferry, Mrs. Alfred Troop passed quietly away, at the residence of her son, Alfred L. Troop. By the death of Mrs. Troop, Granville Ferry has lost a most estimable woman. Owing to her advanced age she has not recently had much connection with affairs outside of her own family circle, but she will long be remembered as a most quiet, unobtrusive and generous character.
A very large number gathered on Monday, the 20th inst., to pay to her the last tribute of respect. This day would have been, had she lived, her eighty-third birthday.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.B. Giles, assisted by Rev. J.R. Hart.
Mrs. Troop leaves five children: Mr. John E. Irvine, of St. John, and Mrs. S.W.W. Pickup, Mr. Hugh Irvine, Mr. Alex. Irvine and Mr. Alfred L. Troop., of Granville Ferry.
