John Malcolm Livingstone, one of Welland’s oldest and best known citizens, passed away early Friday morning in his 67th year. Deceased had been ailing for some years, but heart trouble, which set in three weeks ago, was the cause of death. Our subject was born in Norfolk County and came to Welland with his parents when ten years of age. After residing here a few years he went to Pelham. Forty-two years ago, immediately after his marriage to Emily Kelsey, he returned to Welland and has resided here ever since. For the past 32 years he has been connected with the piano and music business here. Deceased was a life-long Conservative and received the appointment of division court clerk a year after the change of the Ontario government, holding this office until his death. He is survived by a widow, two sons, W.J. Livingstone and Frank Livingstone, one daughter, Mrs. Wm. Doney, one sister, Mrs. R. Skinner of Allanburg and three brothers, G.C. Livingstone and J.H. Livingstone of Allanburgh and M.E. Livingstone of Collins, Sask.
The funeral took place at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Service was conducted at his late residence, 164 Division street, and interment was made in Fonthill cemetery.
