Harry W. Zilliax Passed Away Suddenly Monday

Was Lifelong Resident of Elmira and Prominent in its Activities for Many Years

Since Christmas, the late Mr. Harry Zilliax had been more or less confined to his home and he had not been feeling very well. News of his sudden passing shortly after noon on Monday was received by his large circle of friends as a distinct shock. While knowing he had not been well for some weeks they expected him out and around again shortly. The end came following an attack on Sunday followed by another on Monday, as for some time he had been subject to heart the late heart trouble.

The late Harry W. Zilliax, having lived all his life in Elmira, had a wide circle of friends, business relationships and was held in the highest esteem. Perhaps his outstanding characteristic was his meticulous attention to all duties which he performed and everything was done with precision and exact orderliness. During his forty years as secretary-treasurer of the Elmira and Woolwich Agricultural Society, this was more than exemplified. Forty years was a long period of service, yet the earnest attention and sincere purpose of his interest in the society, did much to make the society what it is today and its enviable financial position.

In private life he was for twenty-four years custom officer in Elmira, from the opening of the office in Elmira in 1912 until it was closed in 1936, he was in charge of the office Since then he has been a notary public and was closely allied with his son, Arthur H. Zilliax, barrister. An ardent and enthusiastic bowler for many years, he held offices in the club and here again he assisted the club to its present fine standing with club rooms and fine greens. He was a member of St. James' Lutheran church, one of its strongest supporters and a regular attendant. Born in Elmira, he was educated here and in Stratford, where he took a business course, the son of the late Henry Zilliax and Christina Lein. He was born on Nov. 7^th, 1881.

He was married Sept. 10^th, 1902, to Clara Eix, who survives him, with one son, Mayor Athur H. Zilliax and one daughter, Mrs. J. W. McQuibbban. One child died in infancy. There are three brothers, John, Elmira, Roy of Gravenhurst, and Charles of Durham; one sister, Mrs. Elmer Giller, Kitchener. There is one grandson, George Alexander McQuibban. One brother and one sister predeceased him. The funeral will be held this (Thursday) afternoon with a private service at the home, 6 William St., thence to St. James' Lutheran church for memorial service. Interment will be held in Elmira cemetery. Rev. L. H. Kalbfleisch will officiate.
