From Obituary -- ST. STEPHEN MAN DIES ON STREET
St. Stephen, Feb 16--Apparently in the best of health, Thomas R. Speedy suffered a heart attack while walking near the gymnasium on King Street early yesterday afternoon and died before medical aid could be summoned.
He was in his 81st year and was born in Harvey, a son of Mr and Mrs Thomas Speedy, who came from Scotland in the early days of the settlement. Moving to St. Stephen about the turn of the century, he farmed on the outskirts of the town, later coming into town where he entered the grain business.
A number of years ago he established a woollen mill and took as active interest in its management up to the time of his death.
His wife, formerly Miss Elizabeth Dundas, of Harvey, predeceased him a number of years ago and he is survived by five sons, John and Roy, St. Stephen; Fred and Carl, Toronto, Ont.; and Norman of Saint John; and two daughters, Mrs Judson Stewart and Mrs J. W. Wilson, St. Stephen.
