Charles Whynot 1940 Bridgewater Bulletin New Germany, October 14- The community was shocked on Friday night by news of the sudden death of Charles Whynot, a life-long resident. Mr. Whynot, although not in his usual good health during the preceeding week, had been about the house and had taken his evening meal on Friday with his wife. Rising from the table he expressed his intention of changing his clothing as he expected neighbours to call during the evening. On going into the bedroom he dropped backward across the bed where he was found a few minutes later by his daughter, Mrs. Floyd Arenburg, Dr. A.L. Cunningham, hastily summoned, found life extinct and attributed death to a heart attack. Mr. Whynot is survived by his wife, before marriage, Miss Susan Allen and by an adopted daughter, Viola, wife of Floyd Arenburg and three grandchildren, Murray, Marguerite, and Lorraine Arenburg, all of New Germany. He was the eldest son of the late Edmund and Sophia (Tipert) Whynot and was born at New Germany July 18, 1870. In this family of ten, are surviving brothers, Albert, George, and Gabriel of New Germany and Harry of Falkland Ridge; and five sisters, Cora, widow of William Seamone and Addie, widow of Sylvanus Seamone, both of Stanley Section; Lydia, wife of Daniel Allen, Springfield; Effie, wife of Timothy Morton, Watford; and Mary, wife of George Hirtle, Cookville. A sister, Ida, predeceased him. He was a faithful member of the Unied Church and had held the office of usher for many years and was a prominent member of the I.O.O.F. Lodge, members of which marched in a body from the church to the cemetery and conducted the funeral rites at the grave. The service at the house and United Church was conducted by the Rev. W.H. Palmer.
