JOEL CLARK DOAN
[Welland Telegraph, 19 September 1902]
After an illness of about two years death removed one of Welland’s old residents last Sunday morning in the person of Joel Clark Doan. Although his illness has extended over two years he has only been confined to the house for about eight months, and was a great sufferer during that time. He was able to sit up during the day, and it was while being helped out of bed Sunday morning that he suddenly and quietly passed away. Deceased was born in Crowland township on Nov. 23rd, 1838, and has lived in Welland town for nearly 30 years- at first working at his trade as a carpenter, and was for the last 20 years the local agent for Messrs. Cronmiller & White’s brewery, Port Colborne. He was well-known throughout the county and had many friends. He leaves a widow, four daughters, Mrs. Wm. King, Egypt, N.Y.; Mrs. Geo. Schooley, Humberstone; Mrs. Bodman and Mrs. Harmon, Welland, and two sons, Benjamin and John, to survive him. The funeral was held from his late residence, the old Hendershot property on Tuesday afternoon, interment taking place at Doan’s Ridge cemetery.
