The TALES you probably never heard about

ALICE AMANDA SWICK

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 12 December 1922]

Alice Amanda Swick, wife of Delbert Swick, a lifelong resident of this vicinity, died at her home, 171 South Main Street, on Saturday evening. She was 59 years of age.

The late Mrs. Swick had been sick for the past twelve months. She had suffered ill health for a number of years since the death of her son, William Carson. Death came, however, with startling suddenness, and was unexpected.

She was born at St. Anns, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Page, of Moulton. She was married on December 11th, 1879, at the Dunnville Methodist Church. After her marriage she resided with her husband at Wainfleet and afterwards at Welland Junction. From there she moved to her residence at Welland.

She is survived by her husband and one brother, Joseph of Moulton. Three sons, Hersey, Joseph and William Carson all predeceased her.

The funeral took place this afternoon at 2 o’clock from her late residence to Fonthill cemetery.
