Hagersville
Mr. John Hamilton Smith died
at Hagersville on Friday, 16 Dec 1921, after an illness of nearly
three years with diabetes. He was confined to his bed about a month.
Mr. Smith was born in Simcoe
and after learning the blacksmith trade, he worked at Bloomsburg and
also at the Lutes Carriage Works at Lutesville.
Forty-five years ago he
moved to Townsend Centre, where he lived until last July, when he
moved to Hagersville. He was a member of the Villa Nova Baptist
Church for 45 years and a deacon and S.S. Superintendent at Townsend
Centre Church.
A widow, two sons and one
daughter survive. They are Edgar of Hagersville, Clendon of Toronto,
and Mrs. Noble of Chicago. The remains were brought here for
interment on Monday morning and many old friends of the family in
this section attended.
