John Pirson, aged 75, a resident of Stevensville for 50 years, well known general contractor, roadbuilder and quarry operator, passed away at his home on Friday, December 3. Although in ill-health for the past month from a heart condition, his death was rather unexpected.

He was united in marriage with Mary Krieger, who survives, together with three daughters, Mrs Milton Plyley, Stevensville; Mrs Clifford Beam, Buffalo, Mrs Louis Brown, Bergenfield, N.J.; two sisters, Mrs Chris Flood and Miss Anna Pirson, Buffalo, N.Y.; two brothers, William and Henry, Stevensville, also five grandchildren. A son Fred Pirson, predeceased him in 1930.
The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from his late residence to St John’s Evangelical and Reformed church, Snyder, the service conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. Huebschmann, who rendered two vocal solos, “Saved by Grace” and “Sunrise Tomorrow.” The pall bearers were Chester Pirson, Arthur Pirson, Lorne Hyde, Forest Wagner, Fred Staples and Wilfred House. There were many beautiful floral tributes. Interment was in St John’s cemetery.
