Melnik - Brockville Notes
Many from here attended the funeral of the late Henry Skvor and his little son. Within a short period of two weeks, death has wiped out the family of Henry Skvor, a farmer residing in the vicinity of Greenstreet. Mrs. Skvor died about two weeks ago, when her baby was born. On Tuesday of last week, the baby died and about the same time the father also died. Having been ill with the flue in February from which he never fully recovered and grief stricken over the loss of his wife and suffering from brain fever are the causes of the death of Mr. Skvor. He was 29 years of age and the couple had been two years.
There have been nine deaths in the Skvor relationship in five years as follows: Mr. Skvor's mother, three sisters, Mrs. Fingost, Mrs. Jos. Weber and Miss Blanche and two brothers, Louis and Edward. One sister is left to mourn his death, Mrs. John Kolarek of Denmark and his father, who is blind.
The funeral of the father and baby were conducted from the late home and also from the Melnik Presbyterian Church on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. and burial took place in the cemetery adjoining. The large attendance at the funeral and the many beautiful floral offerings were evidence of the high esteem in which deceased was held by all who knew him.
We extend sympathy to the remaining members of the afflicted family.
