Last Tribute To Robt Houston
The death occurred on Wednesday, April 1st, at his home on Malcolm Street of Robert Houston in his 65th year. He had been in rather poor health for some time but the end came suddenly, and was unexpected. Mr Houston was born in Almonte, Dec 19th, 1894, a son of Robert Houston and his wife, Annie Prince. He learned the plumbing and sheet metal business and for many years with Taylor Brothers. He was active in lacrosse and hockey as were most of the brothers in his family. For many years he was a faithful member of the Almonte Fire Brigade, retiring when he felt his health was no longer equal to the task. He was a past director of the N.L.A.S. and like his late wife, was an ardent and successful horticulturalist. He married the former Jessie A. Graham of Arnprior, who predeceased him on Feb 10th, 1957. Deceased is survived by four daughters Marjorie, Mrs Don Campbell and Miss Betty of Almonte; Helen, Mrs Ray New, Preston; Roberta, Mrs Vernon McDougall, London. A son Allan died in infancy. The are also two sisters and three brothers: Annie, Mrs Chris Johnson, Arnprior and Belle, Mrs Hiram Hudson, Arnprior; Alex, George, Charles of Almonte.
