The Jewish community in Welland showed their grief and the deep sense of loss sustained by them in the death of Isadore Krivy, prominent Welland insurance agent, when they turned out en masse to attend his funeral, conducted accorded to the Jewish synagogue, and there were many at the funeral from surrounding towns.
The deceased met his death last Friday morning when he was struck and instantly killed by a T.H. and B. Passenger train on a crossing east of Welland.
The rites were conducted by Rabbi Sachs of Toronto, assisted by Cantor Borenstein, also of Toronto. Rabbi Sachs spoke in glowing terms of the deceased’s life referring to his readiness at all times to help his fellow man and declared the Jewish people had suffered a great loss in his death.

Shortly before midnight the funeral cortege was escorted to Thorold road and the remains were taken to Toronto where a commital service was held. Various Jewish organizations were represented at the service there.
Amongst those attending the funeral were David Mennie, district manager of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., and Mrs. Mennie of Niagara Falls and F.V. Evans, assistant district manager and Mrs. Evans of Welland.
