Death
of Alex Messacar
The funeral of
Mr. Alex Messacar, an old and respected resident of Townsend Township,
took place from his home in Simcoe, Monday, the 2nd inst., interment
in Greenwood Cemetery.
Mr. Messacar had
been feeling particularly well of late and went to his bed on Friday
evening as well as usual, but before morning the call came and he
never awakened.
He was a man of
quiet disposition, but with a very kindly heart.
He has two
brothers
surviving,
in Dunnville, and Walker of town. He was the youngest of the three,
having not yet reached his 71st year. He leaves a widow, but no
children, to mourn his departure.
The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Pinnock, pastor of the Baptist
church, Simcoe, where his membership was, and Rev. E. R. Fitch of
Waterford, his pastor until about a year ago.
