Description : Frank Albert Saint, Bradford's oldest citizen and former well known resident of the Scotch Settlement, passed away in York County Hospital, Newmarket, on Monday, November 1, 1954, in his 94th year. He suffered a broken shoulder as the result of a fall in his home in Bradford about ten days previously and was unable to rally from the shock. Born in England, the late Mr. Saint came to this country about 1870 with his parents who established a home in a farm in the Scotch Settlement, near Bradford. In 1887 he married Annie Campbell of Bradford and continued farming in the Settlement. Of quiet disposition, he was a lover of horses and became widely known as a breeder of fine Clydesdale horses, in recognition of which he was made a life member of the Ontario Clydesdale Club in 1946. After his wife's death in 1926 he remained on the farm until about eight years ago when he moved to Bradford to reside with his daughter. He is survived by one son, Dr. Fred F. of Calgary, Alta., and two daughters, Lena M. of Bradford and Mrs. J. W. Bateman (Wilma) of Toronto. Another son, Arthur J., predeceased him about two years ago.The funeral, which was largely attended, was held last Thursday afternoon from the Lathangue-Kilkenny Funeral Home, Bradford, with Rev. C. E. Jackson of Bradford Presbyterian Church officiating. Interment was in Scotch Settlement Cemetery.The pallbearers were Wm. Melbourne, K. Melbourne, H. Coutts, B. Stewart, K. Saint and M. Jones.
