The deceased, who had a varied and useful career, as a strong Conservative, an Orangeman and a member and officer of St. John’s Anglican Church, Mono, was known to be suffering from a dangerous cardiac condition which might at any time prove fatal. About the time of rising on Friday morning the family noticed an unusual silence in his bedroom and, upon the mother and Elwood, the son, investigating, found that the worst had happened, not many minutes before, as the condition of the body indicated. Mr. L. A. Ward, better known as “Alex.” was born on the site where the present Connor School now stands on March 17th, 1865, and was therefore in his 73rd year. He was the son of Lewis Ward, whose wife before marriage was Mary Ann Totten. As a young man Mr. Ward traveled far afield in his work. He was out West one year. One December 20th, 1899, he was married to Margaret Agnes Connor, of the 1st line of the township of Amaranth, later moving to Monticello, where he carried on for 15 years and during which period he served for six years on the Township Council of East Luther and one year as Reeve, resigning the latter office when he and his family determined to return to the place of his birth about sixteen years ago. He was a lifelong member of Connor L.O.L. No. 125, in which body he held most of the important offices. He was elected in 1923 and held for one term the position of Councillor on the council of the Township of Adjala. He was a great lover of horses and for a brief period of his early life lived in Grand Valley. He was keenly interested in sports and for many years was an active supporter and director of the Connor lacrosse team. He was a valued member of St. John’s Anglican Church, Mono, and was Church Warden 1927-30. The deceased leaves to mourn his loss, in addition to his widow, six daughters and four sons, viz., Mrs. Harold Aitken, Hamilton, Mrs. Cecil Hills, Monticello, Miss Myrtle Ward, Toronto, Mrs. Milford McVanel, Shelburne, Mrs. Stanley Wilson, Weston, Miss Ethel Ward, Toronto, Mr. Lewis Ward, Tottenham, Mr. Jack Ward, Mono Townline, and Messrs. Borden and Elwood, at home; also three grandsons and three granddaughters, and four sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Jas. Lazenby, Coldwater, Mrs. Joseph Gray, Regina, Mrs. Thos. Kembar, Collingwood, Mrs. Harry Heaslop, Buff, Sask., William Thomas Ward, Regina, and James Sands Ward, Yellowgrass. The funeral obsequies were held on Sunday, the 4th inst., at 2:15 p.m., at the late residence, and at 3 p.m. at the church where, despite the unfavorable roads, a very large number attended, the services being conducted by Rev. Ernest P. Wood. Mr. Walter Gardiner sang a solo very effectively. The pallbearers were Messrs. Stanley Wilson, Milford, McVanel, Cecil Hills, Harold Aitken, Hugh Lee and Lenvard Purdon. The flowerbearers were Messrs. Eric Ward, Norman Addison, William Ward, Clinton Palmer and Howard Lee. Among the beautiful floral offerings were: Pillow, Wife and Sons; sheaf, Annie, Stan, Myrtle and Ethel; sheaf, Reta, Cecil, Mabel and Milford; basket, Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer Palmer, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh and William Lee; sheaf, Connor L.O.L. 125; wreath, Emerson and Elsie Orr; sheaf, Friends at the Sunshine Co., Toronto; basket, St. John’s Church, Mono; sheaf, Edythe, Harold, Ray and Don; potted plant, Mary, Mae and John; sheaf, Muriel, Roland and family, Lansing. Mr. Ward was big, not only in his physical frame, which stood him in good stead through life for the labours of the day, but he was a large hearted and good hearted man, a kindly, spirited neighbor of a friendly disposition and ready for any good work intended for the uplift of the community and the benefit of his fellowman. He will be sorely missed in the home and in the community, where he was prone to deal with life in a generous, light-hearted spirit, having a faithful confidence and high hopes in the dispensations of a kind and unfailing Providence.
