Last summer, while working in his berry patch, Mr. J. W. McCool of
Waterford, was smitten with paralysis, which has since left him
practically helpless, and ended in his death on Wednesday morning at the
age of 54 years.
The deceased was born on the old homestead just south of the village of
Waterford, and spent all his life in that vicinity.
His bright, kind, disposition made him a great favorite, and he will be
greatly missed in various organizations of the Methodist church of which
he was an active member.
He is survived by a sorrowing wife and four sisters:
Mrs. A. M. Little, Vancouver, B.C.; Mrs. Elam Chapin, Toronto; Mrs. F.
Bauslaugh and Mrs. A. M. Tobin, Waterford; and two brothers, William of
Bay City, Mich.; and Thomas of Fairbanks, Alaska, to whom the sincere
sympathy of the whole community is extended.
Mr. McCool was a brother-in-law of Mrs. Oliver Robertson of this town.
