one of the best known residents of this city, passed away at his home,
82 Seymour Avenue, Thurdsay noon, following a short illness with pneumonia.
The news of his death was learned with much sadness by his large number
of friends and acquaintances. He was a genial gentleman and a sterling
citizen and his passing is deeply regretted.
Mr. Denniss was
born in Ashfort, Kent, Eng., August 10 1848, the son of George and Margaret
Lilly Denniss. About 43 years ago he came to this country and after
a short residence in Chicago, came to Utica, where he has since resided.
For many years he was an agent for the Prudential Life Insurance Company
and in this connection he gained the friendship and confidence of many
people. For the last few years he was employed at the Railroad Y.M.C.A.
Mr. Denniss was a faithful member of Calvary Episcopal Church and was very
devout in his religious duties. He was also a member of Skenandoah
Lodge, No. 95, I.O.O.F., and of Steuben Encampment. He was a past
district deputy of Skenandoah Lodge. In politics he was a Republican,
but never aspired or held office.
At the age of 22
he married Mary E. Bourne, who died shortly afterwards. Later he
married her sister, Jennie (Jane) Bourne, of Utica, who survives.
Mr. Denniss also leaves two daughters, Mrs. George Mead, of Peekskill,
and Mrs. M.R. Kelly of Syracuse; one son, Harry G. Denniss; two sisters
in England and several nephews and nieces, among whom are George M. and
William Denniss, of this city.
The obituary was not dated, but I believe
George died about 1913.
