Ezekiel C. Mead, a life-long resident of the town, died at his home, 75 Connecticut avenue, last night, aged 67 years.
The funeral will be held at his late home on Monday at 2 p.m. Rev. R. P. Sanford, pastor of the North Greenwich Congregational Church, will officiate. Interment will be in Putnam Cemetery.
Mr. Mead suffered a paralytic stroke two weeks ago and his condition grew worse over the last of the week, until the end came.
Mr. Mead was born in North Greenwich. He and his brother, the late Silas S. Mead, town office holder and Civil War veteran, owned the estate now the property of John W Sterling in North Greenwich, both following the occupation of farmers. Fourteen years ago, he sold his farm to Mr. Sterling and came to the Borough, where he has since made his home. For nearly half a century he had been a member of the North Greenwich Congregational Church, and for forty years had been clerk of the church. He is survived by his wife and one son, Douglas S. Mead.
