Sudden Death Of Roy D. Nontell
Former Councillor Passes Away SuddenlyAt His Home This Morning
The death occurred suddenly this Tuesday morning at his home of Ottawa street, of Mr Roy Donald Nontell, aged 59 years. He complained, yesterday, of a pain in his chest but went to work with his wood sawing outfit this morning. Not felling any better he returned home and died of a heart seizure about 10.30. The late Mr Nontell was a son of the late Stewart Nontell and his wife Elizabeth Gemmill. He was born on the 10th concession of Ramsay but did not continue to live on the farm. For upwards of twenty years he was n charge of the big stationary engine in the saw mill at Nicholson's Siding. 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. Harry of this town and Stewart, now overseas with the Canadian army are cousins. He was a member of the Orange Order and of the I.O.O.F. The funeral will be held on Christmas Day at 2.30 pm. from the home of Mr George L. Comba, Church Street, to the Auld Kirk Cemetery vault. Service half an hour earlier. The death of Mr Nontell came as a shock to his friends because he had always enjoyed robust health and did not complain of feeling badly until a day before his death
