Waterford
On Wednesday, 28 Oct 1920,
Mr. George Neal, a well-known and highly respected resident of
Waterford was smitten with a severe stroke of paralysis from
which, in spite of all that could be done, he never regained
consciousness and passed away on Friday, 5 Nov 1920.
The late Mr. Neal was born
in England in 1842, and at the age of 13 years he came to this
country with his father, Joseph Neal, who went into the butcher
business.
While still very young Mr.
Neal started working for himself as a farm hand on what is known
as the Tupper farm, near here. In the course of time he became a
prosperous farmer. About eight years ago he moved to Waterford,
where he resided until his death.
The deceased was a man of
good principles and sterling worth and will be greatly missed.
He is survived by a
sorrowing widow and two daughters, Mrs. Bert Masecar and Mrs. Carl
Bauslaugh, both residing in Townsend Township. To these the
sincere sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended.
The funeral took place on
Sunday afternoon at 2.30 and was very largely attended. The
services were conducted by Rev. H. Wilkins and interment took
place in Greenwood Cemetery.
