Death of
Lloyd Firth
Following an illness of 10
weeks' duration, the death occurred suddenly Tuesday night in
Ingersoll of Lloyd Firth, widely known as a star hockey player of
the Ingersoll intermediate team.
Death was due to a heart
affection which had confined the young man to bed for a greater
period of his illness.
He was in his 25th year.
He went overseas with the 168th Oxford Battalion, and was
transferred to the Second Canadian Infantry Battalion. Shortly
before the close of the war he was gassed and it is believed never
recovered from the effects.
His father, the late
Charles Firth, previous to removing to Ingersoll, for many years
conducted the Bodega Hotel on Kent Street, part of which is now
the Thorburn feed store.
Lloyd was well known to
the younger set in Simcoe, and the news of his death will be a
shock to all of them. He is survived by his mother and one sister,
Miss Pearl, at home.
