Late
Joseph Youmans
There
passed away at his home on Brock Street, at a late hour on Monday
evening, Mr. Joseph Youmans, in his 76th year.
About
two weeks ago he suffered a serious accident when he fell from the top
of the wall of the new public school building in the south ward.
He
had been sitting on a pile of bricks watching the men at work and in
some way lost his balance and fell some 25 feet to the basement.
Pneumonia
developed and other complications which were more than his none too
robust physique could withstand.
He
leaves four children, two sons, Mr. Wyatt Youmans of Toronto and Mr.
Herbert Youmans of Rockford, Ill., and two daughters, the Misses May
and Mabel Youmans, who made their home with him here.
