Death of One of the Oldest and Wealthiest Shipowners of Hants County - Retired 20 Years Ago.
WINDSOR, January 28. - Captain George Mounce, one of Hants county's oldest and wealthiest ship builders and ship owners, passed away at his home in Avondale this morning, at the advanced age of 85 years. He leaves a widow and two sons, - Thomas, of Avondale, and Ralph, secretary of the Windsor Foundry and Machine company, limited. An only daughter, Mrs Rufus Curry, died some years ago. Captain Mounce was well known in this county as one of the pioneer ship builders, and for many years was associated with Andrew Gibson, Liverpool, in shipping concerns. He was for a long time one of the influential directors of the Ship Owners' Insurance company. About twenty years ago he retired from active business and spent the remainder of his years in Avondale, where he was a highly respected member of the Methodist church. He was a staunch conservative in politics, a good neighbor, ever ready to lend a helping hand to a friend in need.
Captain Mounce owned considerable property in the town of Windsor, chief of which is the foundry, and a number of buildings on Gerrish street, know as the "Mounce Block." His large fortune is invested chiefly in bank stocks, bonds, mortgages, etc. He carried the town bonds and also those of the municipality of West Hants.
