A.A. PERRY- ALBERT ABRAHAM
SUDDEN DEATH OF A.A. PERRY
Fell Unconscious at Hockey Match and Lived But a Few Hours.
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 17 February 1921]
Death came with startling suddenness to a prominent Welland businessman when A.A. Perry passed away on Wednesday morning at the home of his brother, Arthur Perry of Port Colborne. He went to the hockey match at Port Colborne on Tuesday evening and was in the best of health. Shortly after the second period had begun he fell from his seat unconscious. He was taken to the dressing room, where he spoke a few words and then lapsed into unconsciousness again, and from this he never rallied, passing away at 8 o’clock on Wednesday morning.
A.A. Perry came to Welland thirteen years ago after having spent his earlier life as a bookseller and stationer in Chatham, Sarnia and London. He was first in partnership with B. Lundy but for the past decade conducted the business on east Main street that has made his name a household word in Welland and vicinity.
Outside his business he had but one main interest, that was Holy Trinity Church and Sunday School. He was a lay reader in the church and prominently identified with many of its activities. In the Sunday School he had been for over ten years superintendent.
He was an honorable man in all the relationships of life and unselfish to a degree. He has left a name without a tarnish.
To Mrs. Perry the heartfelt sympathy of the community is extended in her great sorrow.
This evening at 7.30 funeral services will be held at his late residence, 130 Regent street. The remains will be taken to the old home at Chatham tomorrow for interment, in which city reside his mother, two sister and two brothers.
