ARTHUR FRANKLIN CROW
Postmaster at Niagara Falls
[People’s Press, 17 October 1905]
A large and widespread circle of friends were deeply grieved to learn of the death of Arthur Franklin Crow, youngest son of late Jacob Crow of Welland, which occurred at his home at Niagara Falls on Saturday afternoon. He had been ill for some time, but latterly had shewn signs of improvement, and his sudden demise was a sad and startling shock to all who knew him.
Mr. Crow was born in Pelham township in 1867, the family moving to Welland in 1874, where he attended public and high schools, afterwards graduating at Toronto University, choosing law as his profession. On being called to the bar he formed a partnership with Mr. German, for some years practising in Welland and later s resident number of the firm at Niagara Falls. He was appointed post master of Niagara Falls five years ago, which position he held until his demise. In politics he was a Liberal and took an active part in several successful campaigns. He leaves a widow (Jennie Woodworth), and one young son, also four sisters and two brothers, viz: Mrs. A.L. Pattison of Fenwick, Mrs. Dr. Vanderburg of Merritton, Mrs. Tait, Mrs. Cooper, John H. and W.H., all of Welland, who have the deep sympathy of all.
The funeral took place yesterday afternoon and was very largely attended. The pallbearers were George Wells, Frank Morwood, H.W. Macoomb and J.E.Cohoe of Welland, and F.W. Griffiths and D.B. White of Niagara Falls. Interment was made at Fairview cemetery, Niagara Falls.
