Died in
Walpole
Jarvis Record --
George Henry Honey, whose sudden decease last Wednesday was a
great surprise to the community, was born in Cornwall, England, in
the year 1857. When but a child to two years of age he emigrated
to Bowmanville, Ont., where his boyhood was for the most part
spent.
Later the family moved to
Villa Nova. On 26 Feb 1874 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth
C. Watson and resided near Rockford for some time. About 17 years
ago they moved to Walpole, where they have since resided.
He was an industrious and
highly respected citizen, enjoying the esteem of his neighbors and
the good will of all. He was a member of the Home Circle for 20
years.
He had been ailing some
for most of the winter, but with returning spring it was hoped he
would soon be around again. But it was not to be. In the afternoon
of Wednesday, 23 Mar 1910, surrounded by his family, he passed
away.
The funeral was on Friday
afternoon, a short service being conducted by his pastor in the
Methodist church and he was buried in the family plot in the
Rockford Cemetery.
