JOHN BATTLE
[Welland Telegraph, 4 March 1891]
Last Thursday evening about nine o’clock, John Battle, of Thorold, closed his eyes in death. For some months he had been confined to his residence, and all hope of his recovery was abandoned by his friends some time ago. The deceased was born in Ballymore, County Sligo, Ireland, in 1824, and came to Canada in 1842, settling at once in Thorold, where he commenced life as a day laborer on the second Welland canal, and by industry and economy amassed before the end of his life a comfortable income. He was interested in many business enterprises, and possessed a shrewdness and keen foresight which enabled him in most all cases to judge correctly of any enterprise before he invested in it. His remains were interred in the St. Catharines cemetery on Monday.
