DEATH OF POLLY
[People's Press, 22 May 1906]
On Friday last a death occurred at the home of Mr. A.E. White, West Main street, when “Polly” an old familiar figure, passed away after a short illness, the immediate cause of death being sunstroke. “Polly” had never been known to have been sick before. She was a member of the parrot family and was brought from Toronto in the year 1875 by Mr. White and had lived in the family ever since. She was 31 years and 18 days old. Poor “Polly’s” last words were “Polly cold.” She will be greatly missed by the children who liked to hear her talk as she sat perched in her cage in front of the store. She was buried by the children under a chestnut tree.
