DEATH OF NELSON AMY
Reference was made a couple of
weeks ago to the death of Mr, Alvey
Nelson Amy, of Conquest, Sask,
The following clipping was. taken
from the Conquest Enterprise:
“The community received a se
vere shock on Thursday evening
last, Octobei' 16th, when it was
learned that another of our pioneers
in the person of Mr. Alvey Nelson
Amy, had just passed away sud
denly at his home in Conquest, «his
passing occurring just a few short
days after his retiring from the
farm to take up residence in town.
The late Mr. Amy was one of those
solid citizens- that form the back
bone of our race, kindly, unassum
ing, and a devoteu husband and
father. He was born at Crediton,
Huron County, Ontario, on Febr-u-
--ary 12th, 1I&75, the son of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Amy and was
one -of a family of ten. In 1900
he left his old home and moved to.
Crandall, Manitoba, where he re
sided for five years, after which
time he joined in the movement
to Saskatchewan and homesteaded
south-east of where Conquest now
stands. In 1913 he married Miss
Minnie Rodd, 'daughter, of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rodd, and to
this union was born two daughters.
Mr. Amy served on the board of ’
Prospect Heights school for a num-1 her of years. He had always enjoy-1
ed excellent health which enabled j
him to give close supervision to his farming interests until a little over j
a year ago his sturdy constitution j
began to weakep and he was fore-1
ed to forego, his usual round of*
tasks.
