Description : George Edward Cave, who lived the majority of his almost 81 years of life in this district, passed away suddenly on the street in Bradford on Saturday, November 9. Mr. Cave had suffered a very slight stroke over a year ago, from which he appeared to make a perfect recovery, and there was no indication before his death that he was not enjoying good health. Born in Melanchon Township, the late Mr. Cave came to Newton Robinson district with his parents at an early age, and grew up in that district. In 1900 he married Miss Ida Richardson, the ceremony taking place in Bond Head Anglican Church. For a number of years Mr. and Mrs. Cave farmed near Bond Head before coming to Bradford where they operated a dairy. Over twenty-five years ago they sold their dairy interests to Cousins Dairies, and shortly afterward they moved to Holland Street West, where they have lived a retired life. Mr. and Mrs. Cave had one daughter, Violet, who died some twenty years ago. Mrs. Cave survives her husband. Also surviving is one brother, Elwood Cave of Alliston. Four brothers and three sisters predeceased him, namely, Silas Cave, Humprey Cave, Mary (Mrs. Fred Westlake), Emma (Mrs. John Kidd), Lyman, Norval, and Lillian (Mrs. Charles Johnston).

Description : Around noon last Wednesday John Lenton suffered a heart attack while at work on his farm, Concession 7, Tecumseth Township. The doctor was called and after giving him attention called the ambulance to move him to hospital. The driver of the ambulance entered the home but a few minutes before Mr. Lenton expired. There having been no previous warning of a heart condition, his sudden passing was a great shock to his family. A native of England, Mr. Lenton came to Canada and to West Gwillimbury in 1930, where he farmed. Twenty-one years ago last month he married the former Mildred Mundy, daughter of Mr. Dave Mundy, now of Bradford, and the late Mrs. Mundy. Mr. and Mrs. Lenton farmed in West Gwillimbury until about five years ago when they purchased the farm in Tecumseth. An Anglican in religion, Mr. Lenton was a member of St. John's Tecumseth Church. A quiet, industrious man he was held in high regard by all who knew him. Mr. Lenton is survived by his wife, Mildred; three daughters, Mary, 13, Margaret, 10, and Jean, 3; and two sisters and a brother in England. The funeral was held from the Lathangue-Kilkenny Funeral Home in Bradford with services conducted by his rector, Rev. C. R. P. Hearn of Bond Head. Interment was in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Bradford. The pallbearers were neighbours of the deceased in Tecumseth.
