DEATH OF JOE SILVA
Passed Away Saturday Night After a Short Illness With Typhoid Fever
Joe Silva, one of the most widely known Italian residents of North Frontenac, died at his home late Saturday night. He had been ill with typhoid fever for several weeks but was taken worse Saturday morning and rapidly failed. Perforation of the bowels resulted later in the day and his death was only a question of time.
The deceased had been a resident of Frontenac for a number of years and has held positions of trust under the city administration. He was considered an estimable citizen and had many friends not only among his nationality but among others. The funeral will be held this afternoon.
