The TALES you probably never heard about

JAMES SCANLAN

LATE JAMES SCANLAN

[Welland Tribune, 22 June 1894]

The remains of the late James Scanlan were brought to his mother’s home at Fenwick on Friday last. Of the three victims of the dynamite fatality (referred to elsewhere in this paper) he was the only one not seriously disfigured. The funeral was held on Saturday morning, and was the scene of very large and sympathetic gathering of friends and neighbors. The impressive funeral services of the R.C. Church, of which deceased was a member, were held in that church at Welland by Rev. Father McIntee, burial in the cemetery adjoining. The floral offerings were beautiful and touching….Mrs. Scanlan and family desire us to tender their heartfelt thanks to the many friends both at Welland and Fenwick for many and great deeds of kindness during their time of deep trial and bereavement.
