THE LATE WILLIAM LOGAN
Renfrew Mercury February 28, 1913
The improvement in the condition of Mr. William Logan, noted in our last issue, was of short duration. On Friday afternoon he again took a tum for the worse and the end came early on Sunday morning. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon with the honors of the Oddfellows order of which he had been for many years a member. Rev. Mr. Horne conducted the service at the house, and then the Oddfellows took charge, some fifty of them being in procession, under the marshalship of Bros. D.W. Budd and A.L. Handford. After the service of commitment to the grave by Rev. Mr. Horne, the Oddfellows service was given by Finley White as Noble Grand and J.H. Walford as chaplain. Besides floral wreaths from the family and private friends, there were like remembrances from Marion Lodge I.0.0.F., and also from the Board of Managers of St Andrew’s Church, of which Mr. Logan had been for some years a member. The pallbearers were his brother, Thomas Logan, his son Grey, his nephews William Dean and Charlie and Mackie Logan, and Thos. A. Low, ex-M.P. (a nephew by marriage).
Mr. Logan was the oldest son of the late William Logan, and was a native of Renfrew. From his boyhood days he had been engaged in the woolen industry; in connection with the various activities here under that family name, and which were founded by his father over 60 years ago. He was a man of quiet and reserved habits, taking little part in public affairs except for a time like his father and brothers in Band affairs, but happy in doing his allotted part in the business immediately at his hands, and liked and honored by those who did come in contact with him. In December 1879 he was married to Miss Margaret Stewart, daughter of the late Alex Stewart, a Horton pioneer, who survives him, along with one son W. Grey of The Bank of Ottawa at Parry Sound. Two daughters, Katie (Mrs. Donald McPhail) who died some four years ago, and Mary, who died in early childhood, preceded him to the grave.
