ROY APPLEYARD
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 21 June 1921]
Roy Appleyard of Detroit was looking up old acquaintances in the city last week after an absence of 35 years. Mr. Appleyard was born in Welland, and was the son of the late John Appleyard, who kept a stove and tin store where Lee Ott’s laundry now does business. Roy’s father, with his family, moved to British Columbia in its booming days, but he only lived a short time to enjoy his new home. Roy Appleyard, after growing to manhood, left British Columbia and travelled through different states, finally settling in Detroit, where he has made his home. He found few old chums of his boyhood days in Welland, and the old burgh had become so transformed that he could not remember any of the old landmarks, except the courthouse and the “M.C.R.,” and a few of the old remaining faces, among them Chet Tufts, Harry Caspar and Geo. Wells. Mr. Appleyard was called to La Salle, N.Y., by the death of his mother, which took place last week, and interment was held at Fonthill, where the deceased spent her girlhood days.
