W. H. Canan, foreman of the local Northern Pacific roundhouse, and well known in the city, passed away at a local hospital at 4:25 o'clock Sunday morning, death resulting from an attack of influenza. He was taken sick while at work on Friday, April 10th, but his condition was not considered serious until the next Thursday, when he was taken to the hospital. Even at that time and later he planned on returning home Sunday.
Mr. Canan was born at Marshall, Michigan, October 9th, 1855. He came to Brainerd with his parents and other families from Jackson, Michigan, in 1883, at a time when the railroad was planning an extensive expansion program. He left Brainerd two years later, and was away from the city until 1912, and has made his home here ever since.
In February, 1887 he was united in marriage to Miss Katherine Spillane, who passed away at Laurel, Montana, October 9th, 1911. She was brought back to Brainerd for burial.
Six children were born to this union, being Wilfred, of St. Paul; Frank, of Ignace, Canada; Gerald, of Seattle; Milton, chief engineer on an ocean liner plying between Galveston, Texas and Bremen, Germany, Katherine, of Chicago, and Eleanor, who lived with her father. There are five grandchildren.
In addition to his children, Mr. Canan is survived by four sisters and one brother, Miss Marie A. Canan, of Brainerd, Mrs. J. F. Quinlan, of Pittsburg, Kansas, Mrs. Sarah Linneman, of Crosby, Mrs. J. P. Early, of Brainerd and Joseph Canan of Chicago.
Mr. Canan was a member of the local Knights of Columbus and the foreman's organization at the N. P. shops.
The remains may be viewed by friends on Tuesday at the B. C. McNamara chapel, and will be taken on that evening to the Knights of Columbus club rooms, where they will lie in state until the hour of the funeral.
The funeral will be held from the K. C. club rooms to St. Francis Catholic church, where a requiem high mass will be celebrated at 8:20 o'clock Wednesday morning. Interment will be in the family plot in Evergreen cemetery, beside his wife. His parents and several relatives are also buried there. Pallbearers will be chosen from his associates at the shops and from the Knights of Columbus.
The sorrowing relatives have the sincere sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement. (Brainerd Daily Dispatch, 20 April 1925, p. 3, c. 1)
