GEORGE MELVIN UPPER
[People’s Press, 12 January 1909]
The death occurred on January 7, at his late residence, Ormond street, of George M. Upper, a well-known and respected resident. Deceased had been ill for some six years, having been stricken about six years ago with paralysis, from which he never recovered. Mr. Upper was about fifty years of age, and had lived in this district practically all his life. He was for several years employed as lock-tender on the Welland canal, and was at one time chief of police of Thorold. He is survived by a sorrowing widow and nine children, seven boys and two girls, viz., Melvin, Arthur, john, Joseph, George, Roy and Wilfred, and Miss Ethel and Miss Maggie May, to, whom the heartfelt sympathy of the community will be extended in their sad bereavement. Mr. Upper’s mother also survives him residing at the old family home in Allanburg.
