The death of G. Lester McCully took place at 9 a.m. Tuesday evening
at his home, Portage. He was a farmer, well and favorably known all
over this section as a man of sterling character. His death leaves a gap in
the community that will not soon be filled. He is survived by a widow and
one brother, William, of Petitcodiac.
The late Mr. McCully was a Liberal in politics and for several years sat
in the municipal council for the parish of Cardwell. He was ill for seven
months and last Friday night suffered a stroke of paralysis from which
he never rallied. He was 62 years old. The funeral service will be held
at his late residence, at 2 p.m., Friday. Rev. Dr. Rogers, of Sussex, will
officiate. The lower Baptist cemetery will be the place of burial. |
