Thomas Clint

From the newspaper obituary:

           The death occurred at his home on Monday evening of Thomas Clint. The late Mr. Clint had not been in good health for some time but he did not appear any worse and seemed to be real cheerful all day and at 7:30 o’clock he was seized with a paralytic stroke and at 8:35 passed peacefully away. He was one of the oldest residents of Smith Falls and the neighboring country. He was born in Northumberland, England, eighty-three years ago, coming to Canada with his parents when he was two years old. When he was fourteen years old his parents settled on a farm a few miles outside of Smith Falls and he resided there until he moved to town thirty years ago. About sixty years ago he married Margaret McIntyre, who still survives him, and to them were born nine children. The late Mr. Clint was for some years a carpenter after moving to town, but had for the last five years lived a retired life. He was always an industrious man, a Presbyterian in religion and a Liberal in politics, and up to the last year always voted at all elections, but ill health prevented him at the last elections. Besides his wife, he is survived by seven daughters and two sons: Duncan and John of Flint, Mich. U.S.A.  Mrs. H.C. Perrin, New Liskeard; Mrs. N. Hunter, Cartwright, Man.; Mrs. J.R. Farrell, Jasper Road; Mrs. P. Boucher, Mrs. J. Farrell, Smith Falls; and Tena and Mary, at home; also two sisters and two brothers: Dr. G.J. Clint, Winnipeg. Man.; and James Clint of Calgary, Alberta; Mrs. W.P. Young, Almonte: and Miss Janie Clint of Brockville. The funeral will be held from his late home, 55 George Street, tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at 2:30 o’clock to the Public cemetery.

The obituaries for both Thomas and his wife, Margaret, report they had 9 children. Yet, according to Elaine Kirkham’s Our Clint Family, Thomas and Margaret had 10 children, which included a son who died in infancy.
