    • John P. Livingston Dies at Baden

      A prominent and life-long resident of Baden, Mr. John P. (Jack) Livingston, passed away at his home in Baden on Tuesday afternoon, aged 72 years. He had been in poor health for some time. The deceased was a son of the late James J. Livingston and Louisa Liersch, and was born at Baden on December 23, 1876. For many years he was associated with the Dominion Linseed Oil Company, Ltd., which was founded by his father. He was secretary-treasurer and manager of the Baden branch of the company and retired some years ago. Mr. Livingston was a member of the Kitchener Chamber of Commerce, the K-W Rotary Club and of the I.O.O.F. He was a member of Livingston Presbyterian Church, named after the family in tribute to their generous contributions. He donated the camp site for the Presbyterian camp located at Baden and was a director of the administrative board of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Mr. Livingston was interested in sports, particularly hockey and baseball, which he liberally supported, and he also helped to establish the Baden Band. In politics he was a staunch Liberal. Mr. Livingston was married to Miss Laura E. Holwell, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Holwell of Baden, who predeceased him in 1939. Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Harris (Laura Louise) Veitch, Baden, and two grandchildren. The funeral will be held this Friday afternoon with service at Livingston Presbyterian Church at 2: 30 o'clock. Rev. F. G. Stewart will officiate and internment will be in Fairmount Cemetery, Baden.
