[Welland Tribune, 16 April 1897]
It is with sincere regret that we refer to the death of Wheeler Calcott, only son of George Calcott, which took place on Friday morning at the family residence on Chappel street. The deceased was in his nineteenth year and had had been employed in the Quebec bank since June last. He was a particularly bright boy and a general favorite in the town He took an active interest in all manly sports, being a member of the tennis club and the curling club, besides being a devoted bicyclist. He was a member of St. John’s church and also an officer in the Sunday school and member of the church choir. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon to St. John’s church, thence to the St. Catharines cemetery. The service was conducted by Rev. P.L. Spencer. The casket as it rested in front of the altar rails was completely covered with flowers, showing the respect in which the deceased was held by his friends. The pallbearers were: Stanley Fraser, R.C. Brown, John Greenfield, Major Arnold, Frank Cross, Ernest Spencer. The TRIBUNE extends its sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Calcott and the other members of the family in their bereavement.
