Obituary

THE LATE FRANK LINTON

The communities of Campbellford and Peterboro' learned with sincere and deep regret of the sudden and unexpected demise of Mr Frank Linton, which occurred on Thursday afternoon. Mr Linton had not been in good health for the past few months, and, on the advice of physicians, was taking a rest at his home here. On Thursday afternoon he went out partridge hunting, and as he did not return at the usual hour, the family became alarmed, and neighbours and friends turned out to search for him. About 11 o'clock at night they found the body lying in Mr G W Hendy's woods, north of the Agricultural grounds, about 300 yards from the road leading to Crow Bay.
The late Frank Linton was the third son of the late Robert and Mrs Linton and was born in Campbellford about 50 years ago. As a young man, after receiving his education in the public and high schools, he entered the employ of the Rathbun lumber company and continued in this position until the business was closed. About 18 years ago he accepted a position in Peterboro' with the Peterboro' Lumber Company. His accurate knowledge of the lumber industry in its minutest details, together with his close attention to duty brought rapid promotion. He soon became secretary-treasurer of the company, a position which he held until a few months ago when he was given leave of absence, owing to ill health.
Sociable and affable in his nature, kind and considerate of others, a man of sterling character and of the utmost integrity, Frank made friends everywhere. He was a lifelong member of the Anglican Church, and was unmarried. he was a member of the Peterborough Rotary Club and of the Masonic Order.
Deceased is survived by his aged mother, three brothers, Adam, of Calgary, Fred and John, of town, and two sisters, Mrs Noel Gill, of Port Hope, and Mrs Stanley Neale, of town.
The funeral, which was largely attended, was held on Tuesday morning, service being held in Christ Church by Rev G C Clarke, assisted by Dr Blagrave, of St John's Church, Peterboro', the remains being interred in Christ Church cemetery. The pall bearers were Messrs Ross Dobbin, D Davidson, Mr Howson, of Peterboro', and Dr H O Richardson, A J Jenkins and G A Kingston, of town. A large number of friends from Peterboro' attended the funeral. There were many floral tributes to the memory of the deceased including:--
