DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM GREEN-
WOOD - On Wednesday morning last,
9th inst., Mr. William Greenwood pass-
ed peacefully away after a lengthy ill-
ness, aged 86 years, 4 months and 15
days. The deceased had been in poor
health for a number of years and death
was not unexpected. The late Mr.
Greenwood was born 1825 in Eng-
land. In 1829 with his parents he
came to Canada, locating near New-
market. After leaving Newmarket the
deceased moves to Wellesley Village
where he remained for some time.
About sixty years ago he removed to
Maryborough township where he com-
menced farming, clearing a bush farm.
While living in Maryborough he married
Miss Isabella Anderson. A family of
six children was born and raised at the
Maryborough home. After leaving
Maryborough, Mr. Greenwood and family
removed to Wallace. While living in
Wallace Mrs. Greenwood was called to
her eternal rest. In 1895 Mr. Green-
wood married Miss Mary Bailey, who
survives. Shortly after his second
marriage the late Mr. Greenwood moved
to Trowbridge, where the family lived
for about eight years, after which they
removed to Listowel where they have
since resided. The deceased had been
ailing for the past four of five years and
for the past year had been confined to
his bed. About eight years ago deaf-
ness overtook him and during the past
four years he had been blind. The
deceased was well known and highly
respected by all his acquaintances.
During his long and trying illness the
deceased bore his suffering with chris-
tian fortitude and cheerful resignation.
He was a member of the Presbyterian
church and in politics a Conservative.
Besides a widow, two sons survive,
namely, Mr. John Greenwood, Minto
township, and Mr. Alex. Greenwood,
Listowel. The funeral will take place
this Friday afternoon. Service at the
house at one o'clock. Interment at the
old Listowel cemetery. The commun-
ity's sympathy is extended to the
bereaved in their sorrow.
