DEATH OF E.A. GILL
[People’s Press, 11 April 1916]
Word was received in Welland last week of the death of E.A. Gill for many years a resident of Welland. Death occurred at Cuba, N.Y., on Tuesday, April 4. Interment on Thursday. Mr. Gill came to Welland in the 70s’ and was employed by the late David Johnson as a marble cutter and letterer in the monument business. He afterwards purchased the business from Mr. Johnson, which he continued for several years. He was a high-class mechanic and an original designer of monuments. The works were located on the premises now located by the Bank of Montreal. He married Eliza Perine of Welland. He leaves to mourn his wife and four children, two daughters in Buffalo, one married son in Cuba and one son at home. He removed to Cuba, N.Y., a number of years ago where he has since continued his business until his demise. Mrs. Gill’s mother is still living in Welland at the home of her daughter; three sisters and one brother also reside here, Mrs. A.O. Beatty, Mrs. E.A. Anger, Mrs. H.L. Beatty and John. He was of a genial disposition and made many friends. Mr. Gill and the late Duncan Kennedy, whose death was announced in these columns a few weeks ago, were fast friends. Many friends in Welland extend sympathy to the bereaved family.
