The death occurred
in Simcoe on Monday at his home, 117 Kent street, of Albert Edward
Turvey, one of Simcoe's most respected citizens.
The deceased, who was
in his 73rd year, was born in Charlotteville, the son of Charles
Turvey and Eliza Goodson.
In early life he was engaged in
farming, coming to Simcoe 27 years ago.
For a number of years he was
employed at the E. S. Edmond's seed store and for the past four years
acted as caretaker of the Kinsmen's playground, where he won the
hearts of all the children.
He was a faithful member of St. James
United Church and took a great interest in all church affairs.
Besides his widow he is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Frank Shearer, Charlotteville, and Mrs. Charles
Schilz, Dunkirk, N.Y.; two brothers, Charles of Simcoe and William of
Charlotteville, and two sisters Mrs. Etta Stitt of Simcoe, and Mrs.
Walter Rawlings [sic] of Walsh.
The funeral will be held from his late
residence on Wednesday at 2.30 o'clock with interment in Oakwood
cemetery. Rev. G. K. Bradshaw of Niagara Falls, former pastor of St.
James United church, Simcoe, will have charge of the service at the
home and at the graveside.
