Humberstone News
[Welland Tribune, 11 March 1898]
On Wednesday, March 2nd, Samuel Augustine passed quietly away in the 85th year of his age. Deceased was a well-known and highly respected resident of Humberstone, having been born and brought up but a short distance from his late home. He was a good husband, a kind parent, and a man in hearty sympathy with all benevolent purposes. One sister, 70 years of age, widow of the late Ben Zavitz of Coldstream, Ont., and two sons (Maurice and Wesley) are the only immediate surviving relatives; his wife having passed to the silent majority some eighteen years ago. Mr. Augustine descended from the U.E. Loyalists, and in politics was a life-long Liberal.
The funeral left his late residence on Sunday, March 6th, (deceased’s 85th birthday) and proceeded to Bethel church, Bishop Near officiating. The remains were interred at Overholt’s cemetery. The following gentlemen acted as bearers: Chas. Sherk, Christian Steele, Elihu Kinsey, Geo. Etling, David Leidy and A. Ramey. The remains were followed to their final resting place by a large number of friends, showing the respect and esteem in which he was held by all who knew him. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of the community in this their hour of affliction.
