    Notes:

    Death of Mr. John H. Rutherford

    We regret to announce the death of Mr. John H. Rutherford, which occurred at his residence on Monday morning last. Mr. Rutherford took ill on Saturday and sent for his medical attendant, who, after visiting, expressed his fears that a second shock of paralysis was near at hand. His fears were verified, for in the afternoon a severe seizure occurred, affecting his right side and completely prostrating him. Motion, speech and sensibility, one after another succumbed and he sank to his rest on Monday evening. It will be remembered that Mr. Rutherford was first attacked by his disease on the 24th of May, 1885. The shock then was a very severe one, so much so that it was thought he would never be other than a complete cripple; but he made ultimately a partial recovery, and for the last month or so improved greatly. His health, however, was very seriously affected, and while he retained his cheerfulness, he thought his days on earth would not be long. He was born on the farm where he died, and was in his 48th year. For many years, indeed up to the time of his illness, he was a very hard working industrious man, and had accumulated considerable means. He leaves a wife and four children, we think.

    His funeral took place on Wednesday and was very largely attended by his friends.

    ABOUT US...A history of looking forward

    After the Great War and during the Roaring 20's, a small retail hardware shop was opened in the town of Galt, Ontario, Canada, by J.H. Shellard Rutherford. Right from the beginning, innovation and foresight distinguished Rutherford from his competitors. Anticipating a need, J.H. was one of the first in the region to tap into the growing demand for electrical products by stocking a wide variety of electrical goods and supplies.In 1962, Jack Rutherford took the reins from his father, changing the direction of the company from retail hardware to architectural hardware distribution. He introduced to the Canadian marketplace a more global offering by importing innovative, high-quality products which he designed specifically for the North American market.1a
