The Death of Wm J Townley
The following news report appeared in the newspaper on Monday September 9, 1907.
The report of William's funeral and burial in Mount Pleasant appeared in the evening paper of Tuesday September 10 1907. Despite the reports suggestion he was a long-time resident of the Beach, he in fact had lived there less than two years, having moved there in 1905 from the family residence at 98 Wood Street.
The following day, Wednesday September 11, the newspaper reported on the conclusion of the coroner's inquest into the death of William. (A copy of the corner's report is also a part of my collection of documents.)
