VETERAN TRAMWAYS EMPLOYEE SUCCUMBS

Robert Rennie Dies in 88th Year

Death removed one of the oldest employees of the Tramways Company in the person of Robert Rennie, who died at his son’s home, 5654 Queen Mary Road, this morning after an illness of six weeks. He was in his 88th year.

Born in Scotland, Mr. Rennie landed in Montreal 49 years ago and secured a position with the Montreal Street Railway Company.  A blacksmith by trade, he used to shoe all the horses used in the horse-car system of that day.  With the advent of the electric cars, he still retained his job of blacksmith when the old company was taken over by the tramways system, and worked until two years ago.

He is survived by two sons, David B., and William, of Montreal, and one daughter, of Pontiac, Ill. His wife predeceased him 40 years ago.
