Call
Came Suddenly
Mr. Wm. B. Thorndyke
dropped dead about 9 0'clock Monday morning whilst hurrying into
the Norfolk Street construction tent of the Mastic and Paving Co.,
in an effort to escape the rain storm.
Deceased left his home on
Talbot Street South Monday morning, apparently in his usual
health.
He was engaged in
construction work with the company and was barking piles when the
storm came on.
Hurrying into the tent he
suddenly dropped dead in the presence of a number of
fellow-workers.
Deceased was in his 63rd
year.
The funeral to Oakwood
Cemetery took place yesterday afternoon.
