Ephriam
[sic] Tisdale, who passed away at Glanford, on Oct. 1st, in his 86th year,
was a one time highly respected resident of North Walsingham.
He belonged to an old Norfolk
family, being a son of the late Ephriam [sic] Tisdale, one of the early
pioneers of Norfolk County, and a nephew of the late Col. David
Tisdale.
He had spent most of his life
on the old homestead in North Walsingham, having moved to Glanford,
near Hamilton, just ten years ago, with his wife and family.
He had always taken a keen
interest in the municipal affairs of his township, being for many
years councillor [sic] and twice reeve of North Walsingham.
In politics, he was a staunch
Conservative and in religion a member of the Presbyterian Church.
He
was a man ever ready to give a helping hand to his fellow men and his
genial, kindly disposition won for him a host of friends, who deeply
regret his passing.
He leaves to mourn his loss a
widow (formerly Ada McEown of Lynedoch) three daughters, Mrs. Reginald
Freeman, Woodstock, Mrs. Wm. Mason, Tyrrell, Mrs. Walter Niece,
Dunnville, and two sons, Stanley and Ralph of Glanford, also two
brothers, Dr. Walter Tisdale of Simcoe and Edwin of Winnipeg.
