• Notes

  Death Of Francis (Frank) Powell A well-known Ayr resident for over half a century, Francis (Frank) Powell died at his home on Piper St. on Saturday in his 79th year. He had been in failing health for some time. The late Mr. Powell was a native of the Hatchley district. He came to Ayr as a youth and was employed for some time at the David McCaul Creamery, which was located in the building on the south side of the laneway which runs alongside the present post office. Following his marriage to Ethel Ronald, who predeceased him many years ago, they moved to Brantford for a period, and then returned to Ayr to reside in the house where Mr. Powell spent the remainder of his life. He was at one time employed at the former Hecker-H-O plant in Greenfield, but for many years had lived retired. The late Mr. Powell was an ardent angler and a keen follower of local and national sports. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. David Richardson (Ileen) in California and Mrs. Robert Hyndman (Frances) of Aldergrove, B.C.; two brothers, William of Brantford and Ben of Hatchley. Two sisters also survive. Funeral service was held today (Wednesday) at the W. O. Ball Funeral Home, with interment in Ayr Cemetery. The Ayr News Jun 11 1964 pg 4
