Expired
in a Few Minutes
Death came
suddenly to Mrs. Alica Samantha Haun last Thursday afternoon.
She was
going from her home on Metcalfe Street to visit her
daughter,
Mrs. Nelson Watts on Cedar Street.
Before
reaching her destination, the aged lady fell on the way. She was
picked up by a passerby and taken to the nearest residence, which
happened to be that of her daughter, Mrs. Watts.
Dr. Boyd was
notified and arrived immediately, just in time to see Mrs. Haun
breathe her last. The cause of death was heart failure.
The funeral
was held on 25 Jan 1920, from the residence of her son-in-law, Mr.
Nelson Watts, to Oakwood Cemetery, the services being in charge of
the Salvation Army.
Deceased was
born in Charlotteville 71 years ago. Two son and two daughters
survive:
James of Simcoe,
William of Port Dover,
Mrs. Nelson Watts of Simcoe and
Mrs. Joseph Breen of Port Dover.
