The
death occurred in Hamilton, 1 Jul 1930 of Theodore Calvin House who
was born in Beamsville, 1 Sep 1853. At an early age he removed to the
vicinity of Vanessa, and since that time has spent the major part of
his life in Windham Centre and Teeterville where he conducted a very
successful general store. The last few years have been spent in quiet
retirement in the centre of a happy family.
He was married by
the late Elder Haviland on 18 Oct 1882 to Alfreda Chapin who survives
together with four children: Mrs. Lloyd Cassell (Flossie) of Hamilton,
Fred of Hagersville, Mrs. E. McCombs (Edith) of Hamilton and Mrs.
Leslie Hoover (Nettie) of Chatham. Two children died in infancy. One
sister, Mrs. Webster Smith of Port Dover, and eight grandchildren also
survive.
Mr. House was a
man of very quiet, industrious disposition, always kind, and
interested in religious things. He was a member of the Teeterville
United Church but owing to the absence of the pastor, Rev. J. B. Moore
of Waterford, a life long friend, conducted the funeral services at
the home on Friday afternoon, bringing a message of comfort. The choir
of the United Church brought a message of song and the many flowers
expressed the sympathy of a host of friends.
