GEORGE HYATT OF STAMFORD
[People’s Press, 3 April 1900]
It was with deep feelings of grief and regret that many friends throughout the county of Welland and elsewhere learned of the demise of George Hyatt, which occurred at his residence in Stamford on Tuesday last, March 27th.
Mr. Hyatt was born in Canada of E.U. Loyalist descent, and was one of the best known and most prominent residents of public trust. His last illness was of about two weeks duration; his age being 69 years. At the time of his death he was collector of taxes for the township of Stamford, and secretary treasurer of the Stamford township agricultural society with which he has been prominently associated for many years. In politics he was a sterling, lifelong and enthusiastic Liberal, seldom failing to attend the sessions of the County Reform association. He was a prominent and consistent member of the Methodist church, a prominent Mason, having held honors in both St. Marks’ Lodge and Mount Nebo Chapter, Niagara Falls Village. He was also a member of the Royal Templars of Temperance.
He leaves a widow; one son, Clinton Hyatt, Stamford; and two daughters-Mrs. Wm. Mason, Toronto and Mrs. George Deans, Stamford, to mourn the loss of an ever kind husband and father.
The funeral was held on Thursday afternoon, Rev. J.H. Dyke of Niagara Falls officiating. Interment at Fairview Cemetery. Prominent members of the Masonic fraternity from all over the peninsula attended the funeral, the members of St. Mark’s Lodge an Mount Nebo Chapter attending in a body.
In Mr. Hyatt’s death the community in which he lived, and the church and other societies have sustained a notable loss, and his family an irretrievable bereavement in which they have the sincere sympathy of all friends.
