Very sad indeed was the death of Walter Wood, son of the late William Wood of Cedar Hill, who died at his residence in Cedar Hill, on Friday morning after a lingering Illness. The late Mr. Wood had been in poor health for some time, and underwent an operation about a year ago, but never fully recovered. There survive a family of six children to mourn the loss, the eldest being just 15 years of age, namely: Annie, William, Robert, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Jack. His wife predeceased him about two years ago. Mr. Wood was very well known in this vicinity, being a councillor for the township of Pakenham, and also a very prosperous farmer, and highly esteemed by all who knew him. There are three brothers and two sisters of the deceased namely Jack Wood, Allan and Willie, Mrs. Stuart Boal and Annie Wood. The funeral, which took place on Sunday from his late residence and was conducted by Rev. W.T. MeKenzie, was one of largest ever seen in the Cedar Hill community. The pallbearers were: Robt. Fulton, Thomas Fulton, J . Deugo, J. McCann, John Thomson, Milton Lindsay. Interment was made in the Presbyterian cemetery, Pakenham. Mr. Jack Wood, uncle of the children, intends living with them for a while.
