[Welland Tribune, January 3, 1945]

Funeral service for the late George Herbert, caretaker of St James Anglican church and guild hall, who died in Welland County hospital early Saturday morning was held in the chapel of the Dell and Merton funeral home, 50 Clarence street, Port Colborne, yesterday afternoon and was largely attended by friends and relatives.

Rev. H.G.L. Baugh conducted the service.

Among a number of beautiful tributes testifying to the esteem in which deceased was held were those of St James’ Anglican church, St James’ Women’s Auxiliary, Central United Ladies’ Association, the staff of the H.E. Fretz garage and Iota chapter, Delta Kappa Phi sorority.

Interment at Overholt’s cemetery was deferred until a later date because of road conditions resulting from the storm. Paulbearers will be Wilbert Lewis, Fred Dunham, W.W. Crow, K.C., Daniel Berry, Joseph Bates and Robert Blackhall.
