TREMAIN, George W., Obituary

George W. Tremain, aged over 72 years died at 8 o’clock Friday morning at this home, No. 1045 Walnut street, after an illness of pneumonia. He is survived by one son, John F. Tremain of Albany, secretary of the state prison commission and one sister, Mrs. Jacob L. Bosworth of Lowman, N. Y. The funeral will be held at the home this afternoon at 3 o’clock, the Rev. Herbert S. Harris to officiate. Mr. Tremain’s wife died of pneumonia one week ago Wednesday after a very brief illness. Mr. Tremain had been ailing for a week at the time but was able to be about. A day or two after the funeral of Mr. Tremain he also developed a case of pneumonia which, due to complications, was hopeless from the first. When Mrs. Tremain was taken ill, the son, John F. Tremain, with his wife, came here at once from Albany, and in less than a fortnight he has been bereft of both father and mother. George W. Tremain had been a lifelong resident of this section. For a long period he was instructor in blacksmithing at the reformatory and since had followed various occupations. In his earlier years he was active in the Grange and Farmers’ club with the late James McCann, Charles Heder, John Bridgman, Samuel Carr and others – Elmira, N. Y.
