The sudden death occurred on Sunday, August 20th, of Richard Russelo, one of the town's oldest citizens. He had been in poor health for several months, but on Sunday he was no worse than usual and was up and about during the day seemingly as well as ever. Mr. Russelo was born at Sandwich 70 years ago. He removed to Mersea township when quite young and the whole of his life was spent in Leamington and Mersea. He leaves a widow, who was formerly Margaret Wiper, to whom he had been looking forward to their golden wedding celebration which would have been held next February. He also leaves seven sons, Thomas, of Blenheim; Charles, of Detroit; Robert, Lemuel, Arthur, Howard and Dennis, of Leamington. Two Daughters also survive,Minnie, Mrs. Manchester, of Essex, and Millie, Mrs. Setterington, of Hillman. The funeral was held on Tuesday. Mr. Russelo was a member of the Veteran's Association, having seen service during the Fenian trouble at Sandwich. The members of the association attended the funeral."
