The TALES you probably never heard about

ANDREW HARDIE

[Welland Telegraph, 16 January 1891]

Death claimed an old and respected resident last Monday morning, in the person of Andrew Hardie, who passed away at the age of 53 years, after a protracted period of suffering from consumption. He had been affected by the disease for some years, and for nearly a year previous to his death was confined to the house. Deceased had been a resident of Thorold for about 17 years, served several terms in the council, held the position of market clerk for a time, and commanded the honor and respect of all who knew him. In politics he was a reformer, in religious matters he was a conscientious member of the Methodist church. The funeral took on Wednesday and was largely attended.
