MAJOR SNARTT – Passes Away in Windsor
(From Brantford Courier of Feb. 28)
[Welland Tribune, 10 March 1905]
A special wire today from Detroit to The Courier announces the death in Windsor this morning of Major George Snartt, for many years one of the best known residents of Brantford.
The Major came to this country some forty years ago with the 7th Fusiliers. He was stationed in Brantford with that regiment, but eventually left the military to take up commercial pursuits. For some ten or fifteen years he was accountant with the well known railway contracting firm of Yates and Stratford. After the dissolution of that firm, he was appointed City Grand Trunk agent and for two or three years looked after the agency of that company on Dalhousie street. From here we went to Welland, where with the late Mr. H.B. Sawle he conducted the Welland Telegraph. Returning to this city he was for a year or so the local manager here of the Bank of London, which institution opened a branch on Colborne street near the Belmont Hotel. On the failure of that bank he left for Detroit, where he engaged positions with the Capsule Co., and the Ouilette Lumber firm, making his home in Windsor.
