Obituary
Orvil George Townsend, 15,
died 1 Aug 1921 at the home of his father, George Townsend of
Hartford. In the early hours of the morning the spirit of our young
brother passed quietly out to his Heavenly home.
For nine months he had
struggled bravely against a disease which gradually sapped his
strength, all the while bearing patiently with his lot. He was of a
quiet, cheerful disposition and much devoted to his home and family.
The bereaved ones are: a
devoted father and mother, and two sisters, Helen and Dorothy.
The funeral was held from
the home of his father and conducted by Rev. Mr. Downs of Oakland,
assisted by Rev. P. G. Near of Hartford, interment taking place in
Greenwood Cemetery, Waterford. There were many beautiful floral
tributes contributed by relatives and friends, including:
