JOHN CHRISTIAN CANNELL
Died April 13th, 1920.
One of the most modest and unassuming men in Douglas passed away on April 13th, at 76 Derby-square, Douglas, in the- person of Mr John Christian Cannell, at the age of 75 years. Mr Cannell was a son of the late Mr William Cannell, of Hope-street, joiner and builder, and a nephew of the late Mr Robert Cannell, hatter, of King street. He, too, was a joiner and builder by trade, but became Secretary to the Douglas Water Works Co., and filled that position until the company was bought out by the Douglas Town Commissioners about 30 years ago, when he was given a handsome honorarium as pension. He never again took up any business, but he assisted in the management of the Douglas Steam Saw Mill Co. up to his death. He married a Miss Clucas, of The Strang, and there are two sons and two daughters, three of whom survive, viz., Mr William Cannell, Mr John Christian Cannell, and Miss Agnes Cannell. Miss Katie Cannell, a nurse, died last year. A sister, Mrs Thos. Craine, of London-road, Liverpool, Miss Cannell, of Hope-street, Douglas, and an elder brother-the Rev. W. Cannell, Wesleyan minister, of New Plymouth, New Zealand, also survive. Mrs Cannell died some years ago. Mr Cannell was a member of the Victoria-street Wesleyan Methodist Church, and was constant in attendance, his place being hardly ever vacant. He was also a member of the Douglas Board of Guardians, and treasurer to the Douglas Town and Seamen's Mission (The Bethel), and honorary auditor to several institutions. The funeral took place on Friday, April 16th, interment being at the Borough Cemetery, and was attended by a large number of relatives and friends.
