Mr. Oscar Hendry Passes at Delhi
Veteran businessman and commercial traveler dies in 88th year -- 30 years a merchant in Simcoe -- Was Warden of County
The death took place at his home in Delhi on Friday last of one of Norfolk's oldest and most widely known residents, in the person of Mr. Oscar Hendry, in his 88th year.
Mr. Hendry was born in London, England, October 25, 1839, and came to Canada in 1864.
After spending some time in the employ of Mr. Brethour of Brantford, he went into business for himself, conducting what was then known as "The Golden Beehive," located in the present Gettas block. For upwards of 30 years Mr. Hendry successfully carried on a general dry goods and grocery business there.
Later he went to Ingersoll, where he was also engaged in business for some years. Disposing of his interests in the latter town in 1900, Mr. Hendry became associated with the Delhi Manufacturing Company, and as a representative of this firm he became well known throughout Ontario and Western Canada. He continued in this capacity until four or five years ago, when he retired, making his home in that village.
During his long residence in Simcoe, Mr. Hendry proved himself a most worthy citizen and won the respect and esteem of the entire community. He was a member of the town council for some years, and in 1896 was honored by the council with election to the warden's chair.
In religion Mr. Hendry was for many years a member of the Methodist Church, and later of the continuing United Church.
Fifty-seven years ago he was initiated into Norfolk Lodge, No. 10, A.F. and A.M., and was the oldest member of that body. He was also a veteran of the Fenian Raid campaign, being a member of the 7th Regiment, London.
Mr. Hendry married Miss Walsh, a daughter of the late Francis Walsh, who predeceased him 10 years ago. There survive one daughter, Mrs. H. C. Marlatt, Port Dover; and three sons: O. W. Hendry of Toronto, A. C. Hendry of Winnipeg, and Dr. F. G. Hendry of Delhi.
The funeral, which took place from the home of his son in Delhi, on Sunday afternoon, was very largely attended, particularly by members of the Masonic order, under whose auspices it was conducted. The Rev. George Trimble, pastor of Delhi United Church had charge of the service at the house. Interment was made in Oakwood Cemetery, where the Masonic service was carried out.
The pall-bearers were: Messrs. G. H. Luscombe, Wm. Sutton, Leonard Brady, H. A. Carter and R. H. Gunton of Simcoe, and E. Steele and H. Strout of Delhi
