STREET SEIZURE PROVES FATAL
[Welland Tribune February 1, 1947]
A veteran of four years service in the First Great War, who was awarded the Mons Star, John Clarke McLean, 45 Dover road, dropped dead shortly before noon today at the Colbeck clinic. He was in his 59th year.
Apparently seized with a heart attack while standing on Division street, Mr. McLean made his way to the nearby clinic, where he sought first aid.
A native of Windsor, Ont., deceased later moved to Chatham, where he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Medical Corps and was overseas from !914-1918. He has been a resident of Welland for the past 25 years and was a member of Holy Trinity Anglican church. His last place of employment was at the Gelling Engineering firm.
Surviving besides his widow, Helen, are five sons, Douglas, Port Colborne; Ross, Port Robinson; and William, James and Donald, at home. Four brothers also survive, Donald of Toronto; Frank and William, Windsor; and Reginald, of Merritton.
The body is resting at the H.L. Cudney Funeral Chapel, 241 West Main street. Funeral arrangements were being completed this afternoon.
