DANIEL L. McGLASHAN
[Welland Tribune, 22 January 1897]
The many friends of Daniel L. McGlashan in this county were sadly startled on Monday last to hear of his death, which occurred suddenly at his residence at Windsor a few minutes after 12 o’clock that morning. The cause of death was heart failure. Deceased had been on duty until about 2 the previous afternoon, when he was taken ill with vomiting, etc. He went home and medical assistance was summoned but all to no avail; he died shortly after midnight. Mr. McGlashan was born in Pelham on Jan. 30, 1835, and therefore was close to 62 years of age. He was the son of the late John McGlashan, carriage maker. He was formerly a well-known resident of Pelham and Welland, especially in musical circles, having been a successful teacher of music and manager of musical conventions. He was also a large dealer in musical instruments at one time. He was appointed a special customs officer at Windsor eleven years ago and has since resided there. He was twice married. His second wife-Amanda Church-survives, also his daughter by his first wife, Jennie, wife of Wm. K. Balfour of Hamilton. Deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church, and of the Masonic fraternity.
The funeral from Welland on Thursday was under the auspices of Copestone Masonic lodge with W. Bros, Charles Hearn director of ceremonies and W. Bros. I.P. Willson as exponent of the ritual. W. Bros. Golden, I.P.M. of Windsor Masonic lodge, accompanied the body from Windsor and joined the brethren in administering the last sad rites to a well-beloved brother. Among the profuse floral offerings was a handsome contribution from Windsor lodge. Prior to the Masonic services, Rev. Mr. McCuaig offered up a prayer, read a portion of scripture, and gave a short and impressive funeral address. The following named acted as pallbearers: E. Morris, John Phelps, David Ross, W.G. Somerville, W.E. Barker and Charles Stewart. Interment was made at North Pelham cemetery.
