The
Late W. J. Broad
Reformer: -- The death occurred on
Friday at Weston Sanitarium of Will J. Broad, who has been in poor health
for the past few years.
Mr. Broad was well known in
Simcoe, having been in the employ of the H. S. Falls Co. for a number of
years, later removing to Saskatchewan. His health was not permanently
benefited by the change, however, and he came back east.
The funeral took place from his
uncle's residence in Brantford on Sunday afternoon and was largely
attended. The
services at the house and grave were conducted by Rev. C. T. Scott and
were of a most impressive character.
Those left to mourn their loss are
his wife, formerly Miss Nellie Taylor, of Oakland, and one young daughter,
with his mother, three sisters and a brother, the latter, Stanley Broad,
also at one time a resident of [Simcoe]. The remains were laid to rest in
the Oakland cemetery.
