MARTIN O’BRIEN “WATCHED” BUT HAS SINCE ESCAPED
[People’s Press, 24 September 1912]
A pleasant affair, mingled with regrets, was held at the New Dexter Hotel on Saturday afternoon last, when the employees of the moulding department of the Canadian Steel Foundries, and a few friends, presented Mr. M.J. O’Brien,-the department foreman, with a beautiful engraved gold watch, fob and chain, showing the high esteem in which he was held by every man in his department. Mr. O’Brien made a fitting reply, and thanked them for the beautiful gift, and said that he would always wear it with fond recollections of the days spent with his associates at the Canadian Steel Foundries in Welland. He said he would always have a warm spot in his heart for his friends in Welland, but that is our duty to ourselves and families to always try and better our conditions in this life, and this was why he was leaving Welland.
Mr. O’Brien has been in the employ of the Canadian Steel Foundries for four years. He goes to East St. Louis in the employ of the American Steel Foundries.
The boys were all sorry to lose “Mart,” but wished him success in his new field of labor.
Mr. and Mrs. O’Brien and family left for their new home on Sunday; they will be missed by their many friends.
