HARRY L. INGLES

Niagara Falls South News

[Welland Tribune, 14 May 1897]

After a long, brave and patient struggle with that dread disease, consumption, Harry L. Ingles, barrister, passed away quietly to rest on Monday. Deceased was a son of the late Rev. C.L. Ingles, who was rector of All saints church here for so many years. He leaves a widow (formerly Miss Warren of Fort Erie), mother, sister and two brothers-Miss Ingles, Rev. Chas, Ingles, rector of St. Mark’s church, Parkdale, and John Ingles, civil engineer and contractor, of the firm of Piggott & Ingles, Harry Ingles practiced law in Toronto, was a partner of the late barrister A.G. Hill and finally opened business on his own behalf, which he conducted until his death. He was honorable, ambitious, popular and his untimely death is universally regretted by the community in which he had lived for so many years. Mr. Ingles had been failing for several years, and visited Colorado, California and other western states in search of renewed health, but without avail. His nerve and ambition kept him at work long after his condition was too feeble to stand the strain, and he was only absent from his office a few weeks prior of his demise-in the harness to the last. The remains were interred at All Saints burial ground yesterday, Archdeacon Houston and Rev. Canon Bull conducting service in the church; a brief service having been previously held at the house. Members of the Oddfellows lodges and Sons of Scotland attended the services at the church as a last tribute of love and respect to a true and faithful brother.
