AARON PAGE
[Welland Tribune, 10 June 1898]
Aaron Page of Thorold township, died at his late residence near Fonthill, on Wednesday afternoon, at the advanced age of 75 years. Deceased was one of the oldest residents of the county, and a man thoroughly loved and esteemed by all who knew him, for his unfailing affability, hospitality and sterling integrity. He was of the Society of Friends religious faith, and an intense Liberal in politics. So earnest a Liberal was he that he was familiarly called “Grit Aaron,” to distinguish him from another Aaron Page who lived in the neighborhood. For about fourteen years he has been a sufferer from liver complaint and dyspepsia, and for several years past has been a confirmed invalid, to whom death came as a welcome relief. He leaves a widow; no family. The funeral will take place today (Friday) from his late residence at 2 p.m., interment in burying grounds of the Quaker meeting house.
