Joseph
Gabriel Winter died 4 Jul 1929 at his home, after an illness of
several months. Deceased was born 25 Jun 1870 in Charlotteville, a son
of the late Walter Anderson Winter and Ruth Winter.
With
the exception of a number of years spent in Springfield, where he
conducted a merchant tailoring establishment, deceased had been a
resident of Simcoe for practically all his life. Few men were more
highly respected by all that knew him as "Gabe" Winter.
Besides
his wife he leaves to mourn his loss three brothers:
Lt.-Col. A. A. Winter, K.C., Guy T. Winter of Windsor,
Lorne Winter of Windsor, and one sister, Mrs. Edward Austin of Simcoe.
The
funeral from his late residence 28 Colborne Street, last Sunday was
officiated by Rev. A. L. Howard of St. Paul's Presbyterian
Church.
The large
number in attendance and the numerous beautiful floral tributes were
evidence of the sympathy for the widow and brothers and sisters as
well as the fact Simcoe has lost one of her most highly esteemed
citizens.
The
pallbearers were William Clunas of Waterford,
D. W. Henry, Tyler Leeson of Springfield, C. A. Bennett, Dr. Bell and Angus Munro.
Among
those from a distance:
Mr. & Mrs. Guy Winter of Windsor,
Miss Revere and Mr. Westover of Sarnia,
W. J. Clunas of Waterford,
Tyler Leeson and daughters,
Mrs. Leeson Sr., Mrs. MacDonald,
Mrs. Haggerty, Mr. & Mrs. Davis,
Mr. Herbert McTaggert,
Mr. & Mrs. C. Young Sr.,
Mr. & Mrs. D. W. Henry,
Mr. George
Stewart and Mr. Purdy,
all of Springfield.
