Again the grim reaper,
death, has visited our community and taken one of our oldest
residents in the person Thomas Mater.
Mr. Mater was about his
usual work on Tuesday morning, when he was taken ill, and although
everything possible was done him he passed away on Wednesday
morning.
Heart trouble was the cause.
The funeral services were held on Friday afternoon at the home,
conducted by Rev. Mr. Clark of Walsh. Interment took place in the
Jericho cemetery.
The late Mr. Mater was a man
of genial disposition and a kindly neighbor, who will be missed in
the community.
He leaves to mourn his loss,
besides the sorrowing widow, five sons and and two brothers.
Those who came from a
distance to attend the funeral were his sons, Squire of Toronto,
George and his wife from Michigan, his brother Mr. and Mrs.
John Mater and daughter of Michigan.
