William Dunford of
this village died last Sunday from the effects of a paralytic stroke,
with which he was overtaken a few weeks ago.
Mr.
Dunford was 61 years old at the time of his death. He came to Canada
from London, England, at the age of 26 years and had always lived in
this vicinity. He married Miss Alice Newton, also of London, Eng., in
this village.
Soon after
arriving in Canada he was joined by his parents and three sisters, of
whom one, Mrs. Isaac Moody of Toronto, still survives to mourn his lost.
Besides
Mrs. Dunford, one son, Albion, and three daughters, Gladys and Hilda at
home, and Edith, Mrs. Chas. Smith, of Hamilton, live to mourn the loss
of a kind, loving and indulgent father.
The
deceased was a faithful member of the Free Methodist Church. Honest and
upright in his dealings, he was a good citizen.
The
funeral was held from the home on Wednesday, when the remains were taken
to St. Williams and interred beside his parents in the Newkirk Cemetery.
The services were conducted by his pastor, the Rev. J. W. Peach.
