The TALES you probably never heard about

J. HARCOURT TUFTS

[Welland Telegraph, 21 June 1901]

A very sad and sudden death occurred last Tuesday evening when Judson Harcourt Tufts passed away. Deceased was a well known young man in town, having driven the M.C.R. bus for several years, in which occupation he made many friends. He was very obliging and always at his post, and his untimely demise will be much regretted here. He was born in the house now occupied by his brother, Chester Tufts, on Division street, 23 years ago, and has always lived in Welland. The funeral, which took place yesterday from his father’s residence to the Fonthill cemetery, was largely attended. Among the numerous floral tributes was a beautiful wreath, in the centre of which was “M.C.C.R.” from the employees at the station here. The relatives of the deceased have the sincere sympathy of the whole community.
