The TALES you probably never heard about

ROY DAVIS

Welland Junction

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 10 March 1921]

It was with feelings of deep regret that we learned of the death of Roy Davis at the Brantford hospital. The family moved from here to Brantford d last fall. Roy was in his seventeenth year and was liked by all who knew him, he being a boy of quiet habits and kind disposition. He made many new friends since going to Brantford. He had been complaining for some time and was operated on for some inward trouble about eight weeks ago, this trouble being of so serious nature that small hopes were ever entertained for his recovery. Our hearts go out in sympathy for those bereaved.

The funeral was held from the residence of his parents on Eagle place, the remains being interred in Mount Hope cemetery. Six friends in his Sunday School class acted as bearers. The funeral was well attended, friends being there from Ingersoll, Ayr, Stoney Creek, Herkmur, N.Y., and Welland Junction.
