Mr. Walter McMichael
died at his home south of this village on Sunday morning, after a brief
illness with Flu.
Mr. McMichael, who was the third
of six children of the late William McMichael, was born near Boston,
Ont., in 1847, but moved to
Waterford with his parents at an early age,
and lived here all his life.
His wife, who was Miss Annie
Robb, of Muncey, Penn., predeceased
him 30 years ago, but three children
survive him, Robert and Bertha
at home, and Clarence of Muncey, Penn.
Mr. McMichael was a member of
the Baptist Church and for many years sang in the choir. He was in the
Fathers' Choir which sang in the Church
at the service on Mother's Day.
For a number of years Mr.
McMichael was Assessor in the Township of Townsend and was well known
and highly respected throughout the community.
The funeral was held from his
late home on Tuesday afternoon, services being conducted by Rev. J. D.
MacLachlan and Rev. J. B. Moore.
Mr. T. C. Savage sang an appropriate
and beautiful solo.
Among those present was his son,
Clarence, who with his wife, had made
a non-stop trip by motor from
Muncey Friday night and Saturday only
to find his father had passed on
ere he arrived.
