SUDDEN PASSING OF FRANK KILTY IN QUEEN CITY

FORMER WELLANDER WAS VISITOR HERE ONLY YESTERDAY-FRIENDS SHOCKED

[The Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tribune, 13 October 1931]

Many Wellanders were shocked this morning on learning of the sudden death early today in Toronto of Frank Kilty, former Wellander. Mr. Kilty was in Welland only yesterday and appeared to be in the best of health. In addition to his widow, he is survived by his mother, Mrs. James Kilty, North Main street, Welland, one sister, Mrs. William Bartz, Welland, and one brother, James of California.

Deceased was born in Brighton, Ontario, but came to Welland as a boy and was educated here. He was actively engaged in contracting operations and spent some 18 years in Kansas City and other United States centres.

Welland relatives left immediately for Toronto on receipt of the news of Mr. Kilty’s death and funeral arrangements will likely be completed on their return this evening.

It is understood that Mr. List, father-in-law of the late Mr. Kilty, left Kansas this morning for Toronto by aeroplane and is expected to reach the Canadian city this evening.
