George Barry, a son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Barry, born in Port Rowan 58 years ago,
died suddenly at his home in this village on Monday morning 29 Dec
1919.
Mr. Barry quite recently
suffered an attack of pneumonia, from which he never fully
recovered.
As a young man he began his
career as a sailor and after following that calling for
25 years, he quit and gave his attention to painting and
paperhanging, at which he became proficient.
Since the death of his
parents, he and his sister have lived in their tidy and
comfortable home, enjoying the confidence and respect of the whole
village.
His death will be keenly
felt by his only sister, Miss Eliza Barry, who has been his home
companion for so many years. Two other brothers, Earl, manager of
the Bell Telephone office in this village, and William, at home,
also survive.
The funeral was held from
the home on Wednesday, the services being conducted by Rev. J. M.
Smith. Interment took place in the family plot in Bay View
Cemetery.
