Pioneer Woman in Chin District (September 21, 1929, p. 5, Lethbridge Herald)
"Chin, Sept. 20-The last rites of the church were conducted on Friday morning over the remains of Mrs. John Haibeck, a resident of Chin for the past 16 years. Her sudden death came as a shock to the neighborhood, for though the deceased lady had not enjoyed the best of health for some time, it was not realized that she was in so dangerous a condition. She was around doing her work and meeting people in her husband's store and post office on Monday and Tuesday, but complaining of not feeling as well even as usual, Mr. Haibeck persuaded her to drive to Lethbridge and see her doctor. Whether a slight accident on the road, in which the car became entangled with a four-horse team on a fresno, had anything to do with her sudden passing is not known. She walked some distance up the road till the car was made ready to proceed. The radiator of the car leaked badly from the kick of a horse, and the foreman L.C. Winters, of Coaldale, offered to drive Mr. and Mrs. Haibeck to the city in his car. On the way in the unfortunate lady complained of feeling worse and urged speed. She was taken to Galt hospital, where she fell into unconsciousness and died about six o'clock, some hours after. The obsequies were conducted by Father Fabre in St. Patrick's Church at 9:30, and at St. Patrick's Cemetery, and were attended by a large number of friends and neighbors, Catholic and Protestant, from the Chin and Ready Made districts. The mourners included, in addition to the bereaved husband and three children, Mr. Leo Whalen and Mr. J.K. Hawkins of Turner Valley, relatives of the deceased. Mrs. Haibeck came direct from her home in Erinsville, Ont., in 1912 to teach at Cameron School. Her marriage took place the following year. For many years Mrs. Haibeck was one of the few women living in the district. Until last year she was the local correspondent for the Herald. Though by nature retiring and prevented from ill health from taking much part in social life, she will be much missed by old friends who have known her for many years when there were few residents in the Chin district. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved husband and children. The pall-bearers were Mssrs. John Cassidy, Will Meyers, J.E. Ross, Albert Fournier, Barney Purtle and J.H. McCoy. Christensen Bros. were in charge of arrangements"
