Death of Carson Swick
One of the Three Heavy-Weight Brothers
[People’s Press, 18 June 1907]
Welland, June 17-William Carson Swick, son of Delbert Swick, died here this evening, aged 20 years. He was the youngest and lightest of Welland’s three heavy-weight brothers, whose pictures recently appeared in the Toronto Globe. Their combined weights amounted to nearly 1000 kg., deceased weighing about 275 lbs. His death, though sudden, was not unexpected, and is supposed to have been caused by fatty degeneration. He died while undergoing an operation for dropsy.
Deceased was unmarried and the funeral will take place from his father’s residence tomorrow (Wednesday) at two o’clock; burial at Fonthill cemetery. The funeral will be held under the auspices of Orange lodge, members of which will meet at lodge rooms at 1.30 o’clock. The parents and other relatives have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.
