George Padfield
April 15, 1882 - August 31, 1955
A resident of the Crandall district for nearly five decades died at his
home in Crandall, following an illness on Wednesday, August 31. He was in
his 74th year.
George Padfield was born at Gorrie, Ont. and in 1911 his marriage to
Gertrude Shier took place. The couple farmed north of Decker for a number
of years and later moved to Crandall where Mr. Padfield did blacksmith work.
The funeral was held on Friday with the service being conducted in
the United church by Rev. J. Maxwell and was attended by a large number
of neighbours and friends and the many floral tributes carried their silent
message of sympathy. Burial was made in Crandall cemetery, the palbearers
being H.B.Doupe, W. Phillips, W. Musgrove, J. Hazelwood, Wm. Hyndman,
C.W. Lewis.
He is survived by his wife, one son, William, and five daughters:
Mrs. H. Wheeler, Winnipeg Beach; Mrs. Ed. Lewis, Teulon; Mrs. G. Higgins,
Decker; Mrs. E. Wilson, Trenton, Ont. and Aleta, Winnipeg. There are also
three sisters: Mrs. Ed. Lints, Decker; Mrs. M. Playford, Dauphin and
Miss J. Padfield, Shoal Lake. A son, George, gave his life in the
1939-45 war. There are 15 grandchildren.
