DIED IN WOODSTOCK
.Mr. and Mrs. M. Amy and Mrs.
H. Hoskins, of town, were in Wood-
stock Monday attending the funeral
of Mrs. Amy’s brother, the late Geo.
Hoskin, a former resident of Exeter.
The Woodstock .Sentinel - Review
contains the following obituary.
“A well-know and popular busi
ness man of Woodstock for more
than 40 years, George Hoskin, mer
chant tailor, passed away Friday
morning, April 1st. Mr. Hoskin had
been in failing health for some
months and had been a patient in the
hospital for the past six
was in his 65th year.
Mr, Hoskin was born
and came to Woodstock
prior to which he spent five years in
St. Thomas. He was continuously
engaged in the tailoring .business
and for many years conducted his
shop at 442 Dundas street, oppos
ite Graham.
George Hoskin was closely and ac
tively associated with amateur sport
ing activities in Woodstock over a
long period of years. While in ,St.
Thomas, before coming to Wood-
stock, he had been a defence player
on St. Thomas hockey teams. In
Woodstock he was connected with
junior hockey in an executive capa
city from about 1919 on through to
1933, in which latter year he was a
member of the advisory board of
the Woodstock intermediate team
which went through to the provin
cial championship, defeating Oak
ville in the finals.
The late Mr. Hoskin was also an
active supporter of baseball, volley
ball and softball activities, old
friends recalled this morning. He
was one of the originals of the busi
ness men’s softball league, playing
in an outfield position until about
ten years ago. He was one of the
most enthusiastic players in the “Y”
volleyball league, retiring from ac
tive participation in that sport only
in comparatively recent years. As
a faithful supporter of baseball in
Woodstock he was well known over
a long period of years, and served
as vice-president of the city league
in 1919 and again in 1920. He at
tended Chalmers United Church.
.In 1897 he was married to Caro
