“The many friends of Miss Kathleen Reyling will regret to learn that she passed away at the Normal School Hospital on Saturday last. Miss Reyling, while suffering from a severe attack of influenza, left her bed on 24th November [1918] to attend the death-bed of her sister [Nellie Wheldon], who with her husband [Private Albert Wheldon] also fell victims to the epidemic. The late Miss Reyling was well known and much loved as mistress of the Cross Creek School”
