ARTHUR EDWARD FRANKS Thorold
[Welland Telegraph, 6 February 1891]
The death of Mr. Franks on Sunday night was quite a surprise to our townspeople, as on Saturday he attended to his duties as book-keeper for McCleary & McLearn as usual. Sunday he was in his usual spirits, and ate heartily, going to bed in good health. About 11 o’clock his wife was awakened by an unusual sound, which on investigation proved to be the bursting of a blood vessel. Dr. Ball was sent for, but could do nothing, as death resulted in a few moments afterwards. Mr. Franks came to town six years ago from Brampton, and has filled the office of book-keeper for McCleary & McLearn with satisfaction. He was respected by all, and was a good citizen. He married the oldest daughter of Mr. Hough. His young wife has the sympathy of the whole community in her sad bereavement. He was only 24 years of age.
