DOCTOR FREDERICK JAMES THORPE OLD
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 11 January 1921]
The death of Dr. F.J. Old at his home in Los Angeles on New Year’s Day removes a former well-known and highly respected citizen. Dr. Old came to Port Colborne twenty-nine years ago upon his graduating in medicine at barely twenty-one years of age, and succeeded to the practice of Dr. Frank King. Soon after coming to Port Colborne he purchased the corner now owned by and occupied by Dr. E.A. MacKenzie, and after occupying the old building for a few years, built the handsome house which now stand on the site. During his twenty-one years of residence in town he built up an extensive and successful practice, and when he moved with his family to Los Angeles eight years ago, Dr. MacKenzie succeeded him. Dr. Old leaves to mourn his passing, his wife and two daughters. The eldest daughter, Miss Louise, is at present in the John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, taking up Research Work under Dr. Barker, and the younger daughter, Miss Jean, is with her mother at Los Angeles. The Doctor was born at Caledonia and was 50 years of age.
