JAMES KILTY
Death of James Kilty
Beloved Old Wellander Passed Away Yesterday
[Welland Tribune, 11 July 1918]
Few men have been better known for the last half century than James Joseph Kilty, as a conspicuous feature of the life and development of Welland. The news of his death at his home on Merritt Street, yesterday (Wednesday, the 10th inst.) will be learned with deep regret. The late Mr. Kilty was for many years lock tender on the Welland Canal and during his recent illness, anxiety for his recovery has been manifest among all old Wellanders. Members of his family were gathered round him a week back, the end then seemed near. There was, however, a rally which renewed the hopes of his friends for a few days, but the relapse came, and the end yesterday. The late Mr. Kilty is registered as 63 years of age. High Requiem Mass will be sung in St. Andrew’s Church at 9 a.m. on Saturday next. The interment at R.C. cemetery. The arrangements are in the hands of Messrs. Patterson & Son.
