OBITUARY – MRS ELI HORTON
[Welland Tribune June 18, 1897]
A sad death occurred at Air Line Junction, Humberstone, on Sunday last, when Justina Matthews, wife of Mr Eli Horton, departed this life at the early age of 38 years. Death was caused by lockjaw, the result of blood-poisoning produced by a female ailment. Mrs. Horton was a daughter of the late Abner Matthews of Welland. She leaves a husband, a mother, and five children, the eldest of whom is ten years of age. The funeral took place on Tuesday, interment at Fonthill cemetery; services by Rev. W.H. Swayze. Mrs. Horton had a wide circle of friends, and her untimely death will be deeply mourned, and the sympathy of the community goes out fully to the bereaved ones.
