JOHN WESTWOOD, DEAD

[Welland Tribune, 24 February 1905]

John Westwood, who resided on a farm in the south side of town near the M.C.R., died on Tuesday night after an illness of seven or eight months of Bright’s disease and dropsy. Deceased, who was 51 years of age, was a native of St. George, where he lived most of his life. He moved to Toronto, and about eight years ago to Welland, where he bought J.D. Gunn’s farm. A short time ago he sold the property to W.J. McCoppen. A widow and one daughter, Maud, (the latter employed in Buffalo) survive. The remains were shipped to St. George on Wednesday for interment.

Died: 21 February 1905
