HORACE CANTELO FOUND DEAD

The news of the sudden death of Mr. Horace Cantelo was received with sincere regret by his many friends on Tuesday afternoon. He was found dead in the back yard about 5.30 p.m. Mrs. Cantelo and daughters were in Toronto  and Mrs. Rock was out at the time. He had been in poor health for four or five years and recently had to be driven back and forth to work on account of a weak heart.

Deceased was born in St. Thomas and 25 years ago came here to work in the freight offices of the M.C.R. He was in his 45th year. During his residence in Waterford he made many warm friends. He was a Past Master of Wilson Lodge, No. 113, A.F. & A.M., under whose auspices the funeral will be held this afternoon (Thursday) at 4 o'clock.

His widow, two daughters, Dorothy and Jean, a mother, two brothers and two sisters are left to mourn their loss. The sympathy of  a large circle of friends is extended to them.
