CALEB DOAN
[Welland Telegraph October 8, 1903]
One of Humberstone’s best known residents passed away early Tuesday morning in the person of Caleb Doan, aged 51 years. Deceased was only ill for about ten days, being taken down with bladder trouble, which terminated fatally. Caleb Doan was born and raised in Humberstone township, and with the exception of about a year spent in Michigan, he never left the township. He had two brothers, Marshall and Joshua, both of whom live near the farm of the deceased. There are six sisters living, as follows: Mrs Elias Furry, of Cayuga; Mrs L. Boardman, Crowland; Mrs Frank Augustine, Port Colborne; Mrs S. Furry, Wainfleet; Mrs Gilbert Bearss, Campden, and Mrs A. Page, of Welland. Besides he leaves a widow, one daughter, Miss Anita, and one adopted daughter. Caleb Doan was well and favorably known over the whole township. He took an active part in public affairs, and was a thorough Liberal. He also held the position of postmaster in Humberstone. His death brings sorrow to many friends and relatives. To these general sympathy is extended. The funeral will be held to-day at 2.30 p.m. Services will be conducted at Bethel church, and interment will be at Overholt’s cemetery. McNab Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of which deceased was a member, will conduct the last sad rites.
