It is with
deep regret that we chronicle the death of a bright young man in the
person of George Chislett, who passed away on Tuesday after an illness
of only two days, with inflammation of the bowels. He had undergone an
operation on Monday for appendicitis, his friends hoping he would soon
recover, when on Tuesday at noon a change came for the worse, and
after much suffering, he passed away at two p.m.
He was born in Boston, June
14, 1877, and had lived there his entire life. He was married
September 14, 1910 to Miss Nellie Stoffel of Bloomsburg, when they
came to Boston and settled on a farm one mile east of the village.
George was to everyone a sincere friend, a loving husband and father,
a kind son and brother.
He
will be greatly missed in this community by one and all. He leaves to
mourn his loss his wife and little son, Wilmer, two years old; his
mother, Mrs. James Chislett; one sister, Minnie; and two brothers,
John of Boston, and Tom of Detroit, Mich.; besides other
relatives and a host of friends, who all join in sympathy with the
bereaved family.
The
funeral was largely attended on Friday at 1:30 p.m., from his late
residence. Mr. Loney of Boston officiating, took his text from Psalm
xc., Cor. 1, 13. The floral tributes from friends and relatives were
many and beautiful. Interment took place in Greenwood cemetery,
Waterford.
