The TALES you probably never heard about

WILLIAM W. POTTER

[Welland Tribune, 2 July 1897]

William W. Potter died very suddenly at his home in Canboro township on Saturday, 26th June past, aged 63 years. He had had heart trouble for years. On the day of his death he was in his usual health. In the evening he took tea in Canboro village, some two miles from his home; returning to his home about six o’clock, he was suddenly prostrated and expired in a few minutes-a striking exemplification that in the midst of life we are in death.

Deceased was a son-in-law of late John Tice of North Pelham, and formerly lived in Pelham township, he and Mr. Tice running a brickyard. He leaves a widow, one son and one daughter. His funeral took place on Monday, interment at North Pelham cemetery. Rev. Mr. Marshall, Methodist, of Canboro, conducted the services, which were held in the North Pelham Presbyterian church and were very largely attended.
