• Notes

  Death of John Lennox Following a few days illness with pneumonia, Mr. John Lennox passed away at his home here on Tuesday evening, June 2nd, at the age of 70 years, 8 months and 28 days. His sudden passing was a profound shock to his many friends. He had been busy as caretaker of the Town Park all spring but was suddenly stricken last Friday with his fatal illness. The late Mr. Lennox was born in Durham County, Ontario, and came here in his youth and lived in this neighborhood ever since. He was of a quiet but deeply conscientious disposition and on account of his sterling qualities endeared himself to a large circle of friends. He was married to Sarah Zimmerman, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Zimmerman. Besides his sorrowing wife he leaves a family of ten children, namely, Mrs. Alfred Sitter, Mrs. Charles Grady, Mrs. Wm. Melton, Mrs. Marinus Nielson, all of Detroit, Mich., Mrs. L. J. Vrooman, of Los Angeles, California, Francis and Sangster, of Lincoln Park, Mich., Wesley, Lloyd and Harvey, of New Hamburg. The funeral will take place from his late residence this Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock to Hostetler's Church and Cemetery. New Hamburg Independent Jun 5 1931 pg 5
