----- OBITUARIES -----

George W. Ullyot

February 1, 1850 ~ March 11, 1925

Seized suddenly with heart disease, George Ullyot, 69 years old, pioneer contractor, farmer and well-known resident of the Manitou district, died at 2:30 a.m. yesterday, March 11, 1925 at his home, 94 Lansdowne Avenue. Mr. Ullyot returned to his residence at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday from a visit to his daughter, Mrs. A. Lloyd, 117 Lansdowne, and had retired in the best of health.

OF MANITOU.

Mr. Ullyot homesteaded in the Manitou district 48 years ago, and as contractor, had practically planned and supervised the construction work of the town, following the building-in of the railway. Mr. Ullyot was also a strong supporter of the Methodist church there and had designed the first church of that denomination to be erected at Manitou.

Born in Oshawa, Ont., where he received his education, Mr. Ullyot later took an active interest in the work of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Foresters and the Masonic fraternity, of which he was charter member in his home town. On his removal to Manitou, he was one of the organizers and charter members of the Masonic lodge at that point.

Retiring from a life full of activity, Mr. Ullyot came to Winnipeg five years ago, where three children had taken up residence. He is survived, beside his widow, by two sons, F. W. Ullyot, H. Ullyot, both of Winnipeg, and four daughters, Mrs. A. Lloyd, Winnipeg; Mrs. W. Moore, Manitou; Mrs. Charles Johnston, Wynyard, Sask., and Mrs. G. A. MacMorran, Souris, Man. The body is at Kerr’s funeral rooms awaiting the arrival of relatives from the west. Winnipeg Free Press, Mar. 12, 1925.

Esther A. Jackson Ullyot

February 8, 1853 ~ June 10, 1925

Another of the pioneer women of Southern Manitoba passed away early yesterday (Wednesday) morning, when Mrs. G. W. Ullyot died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Alf Lloyd, 117 Lansdowne Ave., Winnipeg, after an illness of a few hours.

The late Mrs. Ullyot was born in Yorkshire, England, in February, 1853, and came to Canada as a child, living near Oshawa, Ont. In 1870 she married G. W. Ullyot, who predeceased her just three months ago, his sudden death being a shock from which she never really recovered. With her husband and family she settled in the Manitou district in 1879, continuing to reside in that vicinity until five years ago when they moved into Winnipeg.

She was a life-long member of the Methodist Church and an early member of the Rebekah Lodge. She leaves tow sons and four daughters, Fred W. and Harold of Winnipeg, Mrs. Alf Lloyd of Winnipeg, Mrs. Wes. Moore of Manitou, Mrs. G. A. McMorran of Souris, and Mrs. Chas. Johnston of Wynyard, Sask., also 27 grandchildren. One brother, William Jackson, resides in Toronto, and one sister, Mrs. A. Boland in Norman, Oklahoma.

The funeral will likely be held Friday afternoon. Manitou Western Canadian, June 11, 1925.
