OBITUARY FUNERAL OF THOMAS KINCHEN The funeral of Thomas Kinchen was held from McKenzie's Parlors to St. Mary's Anglican Church, where a large number of friends gathered to pay a last tribute to one of our most highly respected citizens. Born at Brieze Norton, Oxford County, England, he was the son of the late Stanley Kinchen and Ann BE a. Migrating to Canada in 1912, -------- ------------A---- Kinchen and his family settled in Russell where he has since resided. During the Great War he served overseas with the 77th Battalion, re- turning home with the rank of cor- poral. At the close of the war he resumed his position with the Borden : Co. as stationary engineer. . A con- scientious worker, he was always popular with his employers, ever giving his best. As a citizen he was well informed and strictly attended his own business. The welfare of his family was his first considera- tion. He was a close student of cur- rent events which he followed very closely in the daily press. Of a re- tiring disposition he made a large number of friends who greatly regret his passing. He took an active in- terest in church affairs, being the People's Warden at the time of his death. Passing in his 65th year he will be missed in the community, the church {and the home. Left to mourn his loss besides his widow the former Sarah Follis, he | leaves one daughter, Mrs. Peter Grif- fin, Ottawa, and three sons: Thomas, of Sudbury, Ont.; Dennis, of Barrie, Ont., and Alex, of Cardinal, Ont. Also two grandchildren, Margaret (Peggy) and Clifford Griffin; three brothers, Richard, Edward (Ted) and James, of Brieze Norton, Engl.
