JOHN APPLEYARD
[Welland Tribune, 2 August 1889]
SAD NEWS-A telegram arrived here on Saturday morning from Mr. A. Williams, Vancouver, B.C., with the startling news that Mr. Jno. Appleyard had just died in that city, of blood poisoning. It is but a few months since Mr. Appleyard passed through here in the very pink of health, and no word of his illness had been received. His taking off must have been very sudden. His family have been visiting in this vicinity and St. Thomas since Mr. Appleyard’s departure, and the sad and unlooked for intelligence comes as a terrible blow to his delicate wife. He also leaves three sons, the eldest in the employ of the M.C.R. at St. Thomas. Deceased was formerly one of Welland’s most prominent citizens and served at the town council board. Later he conducted business at St. Thomas, From that city he went to seek a new home in the far west., but is cut down in the very prime of life. Mr. R.H. Appleyard, merchant, of Stonebridge, is a brother of the deceased. We know where of we speak when we say that late John Appleyard was one of nature’s noblemen-honest and honorable to a fault, and a kind, loving husband and father.
