About two months ago he returned to Almonte after spending the spring and summer in charge of an engine in a mill at Beauchene, Que. Mr Nontell was a most efficient mechanic, having first class papers in steam and a long experience in the handling of sawmill machinery. From time to time he was a member of the Town Council and while his service at that Board was intermittent because of the nature of his vocation he must have served quite a few years. He was elected to the Council for the last time in 1940 but only served a few months in 1941 as he left for Beauchene early in the year. His seat was finally declared vacant after he failed to attend three regular meeting. Mr Nontell is survived by his aged mother of Ottawa and his wife who was Sadie Ritchie previous to her marriage. He also leaves a daughter, Aileen and a brother and sister in Ottawa, namely Percy and Mina, Mrs Kirby Chamberlain. Mr Isaac Nontell of Almonte, is a uncle.
