The funeral took place on
20 May 1919 from the residence of his brother-in-law Creighton
Kaufman in Hamilton, of Ernest Hilliard, a well known resident of
Simcoe.
Deceased, who was in his
30th year, had been ailing for some time, but his trouble was not
thought to be serious until a few weeks ago, when in spite of all
that loving care could do, he passed quietly away.
He had only been married
within the last year, his wife being before her marriage Miss
Jessie Charlton of Toronto.
He will be missed by all
who knew him, as he had a large circle of friends, as the funeral
and floral tributes testified.
Besides his widow he leaves
to mourn his loss two sisters Mrs. Alex Glenn of Buffalo and Miss
Lilian of Cobourg, and four brothers, William H. of Rochester,
N.Y., Charles of Jarvis, Edwin C. of Cobourg, and Harold of
Simcoe. His mother also survives.
