On Friday
morning at his home in Charlotteville, there passed away another of
the aged and highly respected farmers, in the person of John Wight, in
his 91st year.
The late Mr. Wight was the
last surviving member of a large family, and was born in Blenheim
Township, Oxford County, but for the past 40 years had been a resident
of Charlotteville.
In 1866 he married Elizabeth
Griffin, who died March 23rd, 1918. A family of three sons survive:
Arthur of Winnipeg, Hugh of Brantford, and William at home.
In his declining years he had
been most devotedly attended by Mrs. William Wight, who has been his
constant companion, patiently ministering to his every want.
The funeral was held on
Saturday afternoon, the service being conducted by Rev. Mr. Foster, of
Simcoe, and interment was made in Oakwood Cemetery.
