Obituary JOHN FRANCIS Mc¢CLINTOCK After an infirmity of nearly ten vears, the result of an accident in 1941, John Francis McClintock passed away at Fairview Lodge, Whitby, on May 18, 1952. .Born in 1872, on a farm at Pros- pect, Ont., he was the eldest child of the late Mr. and Mrs. Frank McClin- tock. His early education was re- ceived at Prospect Public School fol- lowed by a High School education in Port Perry. : Many years ago, John McClintock was married to the late Ida M. Sav- ege, who predeceased her husband in February, 1937. Theirs was a home much given to hospitality--on their farm at Prospect in carly married life, later in Toronto for a few years, and finally in Port Perry where Mr. McClintock was engaged in the gro- céry business. All through the pears the deceased was closely connected with the Church --formerly with the Methodist Church and latterly, after the consummation of Union, a devoted worker in the United Church, in which he held sev- eral offices, including that of the Ses- sion, the Official Board, and as Super- intendent of the Sunday School. Mr. McClintock will ever be re- membered as a man of pleasing per- sonality, genial disposition, happy in lending a helping hand, a lover of the beautiful, a good sport at curling and bowling, a true friend, and one 'whose word was as good as his bond.' His death came as a happy release from years of suffering and weakness endured with Christian fortitude and unlimited patience that were a mar- vel to all who visited him, The deceased is survived by two brothers and one sister, namely, Mr. George MeGlintock of Toronto, Mr. Robert McClintock of Los Angeles, U.S.A. and Mrs, Elgin Real of Port Perry. Another sister, Mrs. Christo- pher Wilson, passed away in 1942, . 'A beautiful and impressive funeral service was conducted at the Chapel of A, L. McDermott, by Rev. R. H, Wylie assisted by Rev. F. G. Joblin, in the presence of many relatives and friends from Toronto, Ottawa, Osha- wa, Uxbridge, Myrtle, Prospect Prince Albert and Port Perry. The pall- bearers--relatives of Mr, McClintock, were Messrs, Frank and Grant Wilson, Carl Avery, Robert Coates, Finlay Munro, and Robert Prentice. Interment was made at Pine Grove Cettietery, Prince Albert, Ontario.
