[Welland Tribune Sept. 13, 1975]
Private funeral services were held at 2 p.m. today from the Lampman Funeral Chapel at Fenwick for Dr. S. Lee Honey, DDS, BSc., DDPh., who died suddenly at his residence on Canboro Road, Fenwick on Saturday evening, in his 86th year.

He came to Welland on the inception of the Welland Public Health Unit in 1943, where he was engaged until his retirement three years ago. He has since carried on a private practice at his home in Fenwick.
