EDITH WHITWELL
[People’s Press, 28 November 1911]
The death occurred at St. John’s hospital, Toronto, on Friday of Mrs. Levi J. Whitwell, formerly a well-known resident of Welland and Crowland, latterly living at Dunnville.
Mrs. Whitwell was a visitor in Hamilton at the time of the Baptist Women’s convention which opened there on November 8. At the conclusion of the convention she went to Toronto, where she submitted to an operation, and, as a result of which, pneumonia developed and caused her death. Mrs. Whitwell was well known and the announcement of her death was received with deep regret by her numerous friends. The body was brought to Hamilton, and the funeral was held on Monday, interment at Fonthill cemetery.
Mrs. (Edith) Whitwell was a daughter of late Deacon John Young, a pioneer resident of Crowland township, and was born on the farm owned by him on the bank of the Welland river, about two miles north of Welland.
Three sisters survive: Mrs. Levi Sherk and Mrs. H.F. Stenabaugh of Hamilton, and Mrs. Garlock of West Point, N.Y.
Died: 24 November 1911
