Fonthill News
[Welland Tribune, 14 May 1897]
The community in this vicinity were shocked to hear of the sudden demise of Simcoe Z. Fell of Cleveland, O., second son of J. Howard Fell. He passed to the higher life very suddenly of heart failure on Sunday last, only having been ill two days, and sank to rest free from pain. The remains were brought to the home of his parents on Tuesday morning, accompanied by his widow. His brother, Ernest W. Fell of Cleveland, Mrs. Carter of Akron, Miss Lambert, sisters of the widow, his two sisters, Mrs. Will of Woodstock and Susie J. Fell of Cleveland were also present. The casket was laden with beautiful floral offerings sent by loving friends, in whose memory this cheerful, generous and kind man will long remain. His affable manner won him many friends on the L.S. & M.S.R.R., where he has been employed for the past eighteen years. He was a general favorite. The hand of poverty was never extended to him in vain. He had not passed on life’s highway the mark that cast the shadows long, only being in the 45th year of his age. He leaves on son, Franklin S. Fell of Pelham. The obsequies took place at the grounds of the old Quaker church.
“All things that we love and cherish,
Like ourselves must fade and perish,
Such is our mortal lot.
Love itself would, did they not.
That those we love and so regret,
In brighter worlds worlds where none forget, Will soon welcome us yet.”
The family of the deceased do tender their sincere thankfulness for the kindness shown them by their many friends in this their time of bereavement.-COM.
