- "S.C. NORSWORTHY. Private funeral services for a prominent Montreal banker, Stanley Counter NORSWORTHY, who died Dec. 25 at the Montreal General Hospital, were held yesterday at St. Mathias Church in Westmount. He was 86. Born in Ingersoll, Ont., in 1881, Mr, NORSWORTHY was educated at Ridley College, St. Catharines, and entered the services of the Bank of Montreal in 1898 at London, Ont.
Mr. NORSWORTHY's banking career was interrupted by military service in 1915 when he joined the 42nd battalion, Royal Highlanders of Canada, in France. He was appointed to the rank of major and continued with the battalion until January 1913, during which time he was awarded the DSO and MC.
Back in Montreal, in 1918, he was appointed inspector of the Foreign Department for the Bank of Montreal. Several promotions followed and, when he retired from the Bank of Montreal in 1945 after a 48 year career, Mr. NORSWORTHY held the post of assistant general manager. Mr. NORSWORTHY was active for a number of years with the Montreal General Hospital. He held the post of president of the hospital during 1946-53, years that marked the construction of the new building on Cedar Ave.
He is survived by his wife, Georgina (SANKEY); a daughter, Beatrice MURPHY; two sons, Edward and Hugh; and a brother, John W. NORSWORTHY."
