The death
occurred on Thursday, 23rd March, after a long and trying illness of
Geo. W. Ronson, at his late residence on Queen Street, Delhi.
Deceased was in his 66th year
and was the son of Wm. Ronson and Mary Jane May.
He was the fourth of a family
of eleven children, of whom James of Glen Meyer; Joshua of Michigan;
Janet of Pomeroy, Iowa; Eunice of Seattle, and Victoria of Courtland
survive. The names of those who predeceased him were Roger, Mary,
Susan, David and Emmie.
In 1871 he married Mary E.
Hicks of Villa Nova, who survives, and had three daughters, of whom
only Mrs. W. McGuire of Guelph is still living.
Mr. Ronson spent his early
days on a farm near Courtland and came to reside in Delhi about ten
years ago, where a large circle of friends will remember him as a man
of sterling integrity and a strict adherent to British fair-play.
The funeral took place on
Monday, the 27th and consisted of a house service in Delhi and
interment at the Courtland Methodist Cemetery.
Those in attendance from a
distance were
Mr. Gideon Hicks and daughter of Brantford,
Mr. and Mrs.
J. Senn of Hagersville,
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Storey of Simcoe, and
Mr. A.
Ronson of London.
