John Jardine Died at the West Coast. Former Lethbridge Citizen but for Many Years a Great Falls Merchant.
Great Falls, Mont, March 3--The Great Falls Tribune says: A telegram from Vancouver yesterday afternoon announcing the death in that city of John Jardine, one of the proprietors of the Bee Hive store on Central avenue, and a resident of Great Falls for the past 17 years. While the message gave no particulars of his death it is certain he passed away from an attack of Bright's disease. The news of Mr. Jardine's death came as a great shock to his friends and family in this city, who had no knowledge that his condition was so serious. He left here for the coast a week ago last Monday, hoping the change would benefit his health, which had been poor for some time. A letter received a day or two ago contained the information that he was feeling better, and expected to be home next week. This was the last word received before the announcement of his death. The officers of Euclid Lodge No. 58, A.F.&A.M., immediately telegraphed to Vancouver lodge to take charge of the remains and have them shipped to Great Falls as soon as possible. Mr. Jardine was one of the best known and most highly respected merchants of Great Falls, always having been an influence for good since he entered the community to make his home. He was born in Blenheim, Ontario, Aug. 31, 1865, and was at the time of his death, 42 years of age. At the age of 12 years he went with his parents to Winnipeg, where he received his education, graduating from Manitoba college in 1882. In 1888 he entered the mercantile business for himself and in the same year married Miss Annie Stewart of Winnipeg. The following year he decided to go west, and first located at Lethbridge. In 1891, he came to Great Falls, at first entering the employ of William Albrecht, the furniture man. In 1894, he founded the Bee Hive store. At the time of his death he was in partnership in the same business with George Conrad. The original location of the store was in the building on Central avenue, at present occupied by W. H. George, the undertaker. Mr. Jardine is survived by his wife and four children. Three of the children are sons ranging in age from 18 to 7 years, while a daughter is 12 years of age. Bedsides the Masonic order he was a member of Woodmen of the World. A few months ago Mr. Jardine built a home at the corner of Second avenue north and Ninth street, which has been occupied by the family for a short time only. Mr. Jardine was a Lethbridge old timer. His mother lived here until a few years ago. A sister, Mrs. Joseph Morris, and a brother, Charles Jardine, live in Edmonton.
