SWEENY Members of one of western Nova Scotia's best known families and popular throughout that section of the Province and beyond, Charles Clements Sweeny died at his temporary home, 43 Inglis Street, Halifax, Friday afternoon, Jan. 27th, following a period of indifferent health of some months duration, his illness becoming acute about a month ago. Born at Yarmouth 63 years ago, eldest son of the late Jacob and Lois Patton Sweeny, Mr Sweeny since leaving his home town travelled extensively in England, United States and the West Indies. For 20 years he resided in Lunenburg, being a funeral director and later he conducted an antique business, and at the Head of St Margaret's Bay, residing there until two months ago when he moved to Halifax. For about 10 years after his marriage to a member of another well known Nova Scotia family, Miss Annie Perkins, of Annapolis Royal, he made his home at Yarmouth. They made frequent visits to the United States, at times residing there for long periods. Following residence at Lunenburg he moved to Head of St Margaret's Bay about two years ago and since then he has been a familiar and popular figure in that community. A good friend, he had many who sought his company and his loss will be deeply mourned. Mr Sweeny was greatly interested in horse racing and frequently was found at the race track. Besides his widow, Mr Sweeny leaves two sons, Heber N. in Bridgewater and Dana in Lunenburg; one daughter, Miss Charlotte, at home; three brothers, Vernon at Yarmouth, Fred of Weymouth and Benjamin in San Francisco; and one sister, Mrs (Rev.)
