There
passed away at the residence of his son Bruce, who lives on Sydenham
street, Tuesday afternoon, a man well and favorably known throughout
the whole of Norfolk County, in the person of James Henry Green.
The late Mr.
Green was in his 66th year and came to his death from the effects of a
paralytic stroke. Since the death of his sister, Mrs. Mary Ann Drake,
a couple of months ago, he has continued his residence on the little
farm at Cornell, where they had lived together for the past few years.
He had been in
fairly good health recently, but on Friday last suffered a slight
stroke, whereby he lost the use of his left arm. His son Bruce went
out from Simcoe and brought him to his home here. He was given every
care and seemed to be doing fairly well until Sunday, when he lost
control of other parts of his body. Even after this he was able to sit
up, but about 3:30 Tuesday afternoon he passed beyond human aid, with
his family all about him.
The late Mr.
Green was born in the Township of Windham on a farm about a mile south
of Lynnville, and when quite a young man took over the hotel at Port
Ryerse, which he conducted continuously for thirteen years.
About the same
number of years ago he left Port Ryerse and went to Lynnville, where
he kept the temperance house for three years. Later he left the hotel
business and took to farming in Walsingham Township, from which place
he moved to Cornell.
The deceased was
a member of the Baptist church and belonged to the Canadian Order of
Foresters, under whose auspices the funeral will be conducted this
afternoon at one o'clock, Rev. Mr. Newcombe taking charge of the
services. Interment will be made at Lynnville cemetery.
Deceased leaves
to mourn his loss three sons and three grandchildren. The sons are
Bruce and Christopher of Simcoe, and Wilmot of Hamilton.
