DEATH:
MACEACHERN - OBITUARY
- There passed to his eternal reward, in St. Francis' Hospital, Eureka, Cal., on December 28th, 1907, John Andrew McEachern, aged 39 years. Deceased was a native of Rock Barra, King's County, P.E.I., and left his native province about seven years ago to seek his fortune in the golden west and located in Leadville, Col., where he followed mining for a time. But owing to ill health he was obliged to leave that state and return to Boston, Mass. After having regained his usual good health, he again became imbued with a desire to return to the country which he was obliged to leave some time previous, and accordingly he bade adieu to his friends in Boston and, full of bright hopes for the future, he returned to Colorado, when he labored for a time as a carpenter. He next visited San Francisco, Cal., and eventually settled in Eureka, Humbolt County, where he remained until his demise.

Finding his health again about to fail him, he entered St. Francis' Hospital where he was under the care of the most skillful physicians procurable; but their skill proved inadequate to stay the hand of death and on December 28th, 1907, he passed peacefully away after an illness of one week, death being due to an attack of liver complaint.

To his bereaved relatives his death comes as a severe shock and exemplifies the fact that troubles never come singly, for a month previous to his death, the sad intelligence was conveyed to his father that a beloved daughter had died in Boston, Mass., and her body was then en route to her native land for burial. Besides an aged father they leave to mourn two brothers, viz. Angus on the homestead, Daniel in San Francisco, also three sisters, Mrs. Alex. H. McDonald, Glencorrodale, P.E.I., Mrs. D. F. McDonald, Rock Barra, P.E.I., and Miss Sarah, in Boston. To the bereaved father, and other relatives this community extends its most sincere sympathy in their sad bereavement.

DEATH:
BRUCE-ROBERTSON - THE KING'S COUNTY GUARDIAN
- The community of East Point received a great shock when Mrs. John E. Robertson, of Red Point died in her chair on the 3rd inst. She had not been feeling well for some days but no one thought of danger. She had been busy in the store most of the day and evening but had returned to the house. Her husband came a few minutes later. As he entered she had just completed a piece of work in hand saying "didn't I do well to finish it." These were her last words. Her earthly work was finished. She united with East Point Baptist Church when a girl during Pastor Shaw's ministry. She took a deep interest in the church work and although living three miles from the house of worship she was found in her place every Sunday morning when able and often attended the evening service as well. She took a deep interest in missions. A few years ago she made herself a life member of the W. M. A. Society which meant $25 to missions. Last year she gave $25 to support one of Miss Clark's Bible women in the foreign field. Those who mourn are a bereaved husband Dea. John E. Robertson and an only child, Hattie May, who was in Winnipeg at the time of death but got home for funeral; four brothers John, James, Alex. and David Bruce, and two sisters Mrs. Alex. McLean and Mrs. John A. Bruce and a large number of relatives and friends. The funeral services conducted by Pastor Beaman on the 9th inst. were largely attended and very impressive.

SUCCESSFUL ISLANDER

Mr. Frank MacDonald is a son of the late Capt. John MacDonald, of Georgetown Cottage Farm. He graduated from college fifteen years ago, and went to Rumford Falls, where he held a good position, as superintendent of the chemical mills. After a few years he invented a chemical plant, known as the "Macdonald Electrolytical System" which he put in operation in several parts of the world. Four years ago he put in a plant at Denver, Colorado. During his stay, he invented a machine to separate the gold from the ore, which is driven by electricity – the first invention of that kind known in the world, got it patented and sold it for a large sum of money. Mr. Macdonald has an office at 41 Park Row, New York, and owns a residence in Johnsonburg, Pa., where he can be found at any time. He has two brothers and one sister on the Island; James and Tom and Mrs. James Wood, Lake Verde. He has a complete circuit of plants from Maine to Denver.

TOWNSEND - OBITUARY
- At his residence, South Lake, King's County, on Tuesday the 18th inst., after an illness of one year, John M. Townsend, in the 71st year of his age.

The subject of this brief sketch was born at Bay Fortune in this Province September 29th, 1837. He was the youngest son of the late John Townsend, Esq., and a grandson of Lord James Townsend at one time administrator of the government of this Island and the proprietor of landed estate comprising thirty-five thousand acres.

His family removed to Rollo Bay when he was only three years of age and there amid congenial surroundings the happiest years of his life were spent.

Blest with a noble Christian mother, he received an excellent christian training. She was the mother of ten children of whom he was the seventh. She lived to see the fifth generation. His brother, the late Charles W. Townsend, Esq. of Rollo Bay, died at the dawn of the 20th century. All that remains of a large and honored family, are three sisters, viz. Mrs. Edmund Keefe, East Boston, Mass., Mrs. Mary Morrow, Little River and Mrs. Flora Norton, Eureka, Cal.

His pathway through life was made about as "rough and thorny" as usually fall to the lot of mortal man. But he is gone beyond the reach of mortal woe "Where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest."


Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep
From which none ever wakes to weep
A calm and undisturbed repost
Unbroken by the lust of foes
Asleep in Jesus far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be
But thine is still a blessed sleep
From which none ever wakes to weep.

STEELE - HOW A P. E. ISLAND SEAMAN MET HIS DEATH - Particulars of the Drowning of Jerome Steele, of Rock Barra, and Wm. McLaren, a Nova Scotian
- A dispatch from Gloucester, Mass., contains particulars of the death of seamen, McLaren and Steele, who were drowned from the schooner Preceptor of Gloucester as referred to in this paper already. The Preceptor broke away from her anchorage during a terrific gale and was struck by a terrible wave. The vessel was knocked down on her beam ends, the man declaring her mastheads touched the towering seas.

The decks were submerged as the vessel was thrown on an angle and many of the men were under water. It was with the greatest exertion that they held their grasp on rope and rigging. For some seconds the vessel would not right herself. Then slowly she shook herself clear of the mass of water and came back to her bearings.

The decks had been swept clear of everything movable. Dories, gurrykids and buoys had all been shattered to kindling wood and were floating about in the swirl in which the craft was struggling.

The men heard a cry. A vessel's length astern on the top of a crested comber, distinct in the moonlight, was a struggling form in oilskins. A moment later it had disappeared.

Later when the crew were mustered up it was found that another was missing. McLaren and Steele had not been successful in securing a hand hold and were swept away.

McLaren was a native of Argyle, N.S., aged about 25 and unmarried. He had fished from this port a number of years. Jerome Steele was a native of Rock Barra, P.E.I., and was about thirty years old. He came here to engage in fishing before he was twenty. At the time of the Spanish war he was one of the 300 Gloucester fishermen who responded to the call for seamen for the navy, and he served his adopted country creditably for three years.

His only relative is his aged mother down in Prince Edward Island. Steele was his mother's sole support.

The Preceptor brought in about 14,000 pounds of halibut.

DEATH:
GRINSELL - OBITUARY
- The community of Clear Springs was shocked to learn on Sunday, March 8th, 1908, of the death of John Grinsell, aged 65. About two months ago he contracted a severe cold from which he rallied for a time and his friends entertained bright hopes for his speedy recovery, but despite medical attendance and the ministeration of loving friends he passed peacefully away on the above date, fortified by the last rites of the Catholic Church, of which he was always a faithful and consistent member.

By his death a home is bereft of a kind and affectionate husband and father, the community of a man who was always ready to extend a helping hand to any who needed his assistance, and the church a member who was faithful and conscientious in his religious duties.

His funeral to St. Margaret's Church took place on Tuesday, March 10th, and was followed by a large concourse of people. The services at the church and grave were performed by his loving pastor Rev. K. C. McPherson, after which all that was mortal of him was consigned to his last resting place there to await the sound of the last trumpet. Besides his brothers and sisters he leaves to mourn a sorrowing widow, three sons Edward, John and Michael, the two latter having returned home recently to be present at the bedside of their dying father, also three daughters viz. Mrs. Charles McKinnon, Little Harbor, P. E. Island, Mrs. W. Bleakney of Houston, Texas, and Miss Mattie at home.

To his grief stricken relatives the community extends its most sincere sympathy. – COM.

TRAGEDY AT MISCOUCHE STARTLES PROVINCE
––––––––––
Young Man, Named Joseph D. McMillan Shot and Killed By a Revolver in The Hands of Alonzo Docherty - The Evidence Given at The Inquest Last Night.
––––––––––
Special by telephone

The village of Miscouche, indeed the whole community was stirred to great excitement yesterday morning when word was received that Joseph D. McMillan, residing in Miscouche, had been murdered during the previous evening and the dead body had been found on the railway track about one mile from Miscouche. Magistrate John Rogers at once notified Cor. Bowness of Summerside and also had the body taken to the C.M.B.A. hall at Miscouche. Cor. Bowness on his arrival immediately empanelled the following jury: Nelson Howatt, foreman, Daniel Leckey, Wm. J. DesRoche, James Carver, Gilbert DesRoches, Harry Cotton and Alex. McNeill. After administering the usual oath the inquest was adjourned until the afternoon. The deceased Joseph D. McMillan, was about twenty-five years of age, was a well known and prosperous young farmer residing within a few hundred yards of Miscouche. He was popular and well liked and he was not supposed to have had any enemies. He leaves to mourn his widowed mother, one brother in the west and three sisters Mrs. Walter Cameron, Lot 14; Mrs. Mahon, Moncton, and one sister in the United States.

The inquest on the death of Joseph McMillan took place at Miscouche yesterday afternoon, before Cor. Bowness. The first witness was Stella McDonald. I know Jos. McMillan, deceased. I was in his company Sunday evening. I was also in his company during the afternoon at my home. I went to Summerside with him in the evening, we walked, arrived in Summerside about dark, stayed in Summerside about twenty minutes or half an hour. We then started to walk home again by the railroad track. We met some people whom I did not know. On returning we met Alonzo Dougherty along by this side of Jones' woods. He did not say anything to me. He pointed a revolver at McMillan and told him to hold up. McMillan replied, "that is a revolver you have." He, Dougherty, then fired a shot at McMillan. When we met Dougherty we all stopped. Dougherty was standing in front of us, when the first shot was fired. McMillan said "I am shot." McMillan fell and Dougherty fired another shot at him. McMillan never spoke after he fell. I don't know whether he fired any more shots or not. I turned my back to them and started on a little way. Dougherty was about eight feet from McMillan when he fired the first shot. I don't know whether he came closer when he fired the second shot as my back was turned. I only remember having heard two shots fired. I don't remember whether Dougherty made any remark after McMillan fell. I walked from there home, coming across the fields. Dougherty came home with me. I do not know what time it was. It would be after 10 o'clock. I reported the affair to my aunt when I came home. Dougherty was with me when I did so. No one else knew about it but my aunt, Dougherty and myself. I did not go to bed for a while. At 5.15 this (Monday) morning I reported the affair to Father Monaghan. Dougherty had gone home and come back again. He went with me to Father Monaghan. Miss Gillis accompanied us there.

I know of no reason for the shooting.

I did not ask Dougherty what his reason was.

He said himself he was in a fit of passion when he shot him.

To the Foreman – He must have manifested passion when he shot him. I could not tell, by anything he said before he shot him that he was in a passion. Dougherty removed the body; he carried it across and laid it on the north side of the railroad track. I do not know what his idea was removing it to the track. I saw Dougherty around the streets yesterday, Sunday. I guess he, Dougherty, saw us going to Summerside. I do not know what Dougherty meant when he said he would part us. I never thought it would mean killing.

Questioned by the Coroner – Did you and your sister go alone to Summerside?

Witness – My sister accompanied us to Summerside. We were alone coming back. The first shot was fired when they were face to face.

MARTIN MONAGHAN, Parish Priest at Miscouche sworn. I knew nothing of the affair until about 5.20 this morning. The door bell rang. I came down, and found Miss Katherine Gillis, Stella McDonald and Alonzo Dougherty at the door. I was surprised and asked what was wrong. This boy has shot Joe McMillan. Some conversation followed. Miss Gillis said that Dougherty admitted he had shot McMillan. Some conversation followed. Dougherty was going to do away with himself. In order to remove any danger I asked him for his revolver. He said I'd rather not father. He said there was nothing in it. I said you have something to put in it. I sent him back to Miss Gillis' house and told him to stay there for the present. They went away and I got ready and asked Urban Gillis, Dan'l Malone and Prosper DesRoche to go and find the body. I only told them that he was shot, as Dougherty had asked me not to let it be known who did it.

I thought it necessary, when I saw the body to tell the authorities, so I telegraphed the Attorney General and the Premier. I went to Miss Gillis' and Stella McDonald and Dougherty. The former told me she had the revolver. The revolver was empty.

I had told no one up to this time who had done the shooting. I was afraid Dougherty might do away with himself and I would be blamed, so I sent for John Rogers, the J.P., and told him all I knew. I received a telephone message from the Premier and Attorney General stating that they had instructed Stip. Mag. Wright, to act in the case.

PROSPER DESROCHE sworn. I know Joseph McMillan, deceased. Father Monaghan requested me to go to look for the corpse. I found it in what they call Jones' woods. We found the body on the left side of the railroad track, about nine feet from the fence. We had not much trouble in finding it. We first saw the hat. We carried the body about half a mile to where our house was. We brought the body to the C.M.B.A. hall. I know nothing of the shooting except hearsay. I know Dougherty. I never heard anything ill of him. The body was lying on its face.

Dan'l Malone gave evidence of a similar character. An autopsy was held on the body by Drs. A. S. McNeill and A. A. McLennan.

After some deliberation the Jury brought in the following verdict:

That the said Joseph McMillan came to his death by shots fired from a revolver in the hands of, and fired by Alonzo Dougherty on Sunday, May 10, 1908.

The prisoner Alonzo Dougherty was brought to Summerside by Deputy Sheriff Wright and lodged in Jail yesterday afternoon to await a preliminary hearing.

PARTICULARS ABOUT THE MURDER AT MISCOUCHE
––––––––––
Prisoner Talks Freely About The Matter - Says He Does Not Know Why He Killed Joseph McMillan - His Father Fainted When Told His Son Was Guilty
––––––––––

All elements of mystery in connection with the shooting of Joseph McMillan are completely swept away by the confession of the prisoner Alonzo Dougherty.

He says that "Sunday afternoon Stella McDonald and her sister, accompanied by Joe McMillan, went out to Summerside. Two other girls walked part of the way with them, but returned. At ten o'clock I walked down the track and met McMillan and Stella McDonald. On leaving the house, I had put a revolver in my pocket. I did not go out with the intention of meeting them. When I came up to them I said, "hold up a minute," and McMillan said "that's a revolver you've got there." I said "I know it is," and fired it at him. He fell, and I carried him across the track and laid him by the fence. I walked back to Miscouche with Stella McDonald. I told her aunt the first thing Sunday, and yesterday I went to Father Monaghan and confessed it all, to him. I was very sorry indeed for what I did and had no intention of doing it and do not know what caused me to do it. I never had a word with McMillan and there never was a better fellow in Miscouche. Miss McDonald was a friend of his and was also a friend of mine. I gave myself up to Bradford M. Gough the constable."

Dougherty apparently realizes the gravity of his position. He is a big fellow, six feet in height, and a son of Wm. Dougherty, of Miscouche.

In relating the events following the committal of the awful deed, he corroborates the evidence of Stella McDonald, given in yesterday's Guardian. He tells of going home with Stella McDonald to the home of her aunt, Miss Gillis, with whom she lived. He stayed there a while and left for his own home – it was then about three o'clock Monday morning. A few hours later he went back to Miss Gillis' home, and he and Stella McDonald and Miss Gillis went to Father Monaghan, their parish priest. He then went back to his father's house. When his father asked him if he were guilty and he said "yes," his father fell in a faint. Then the prisoner drove to Miscouche to give himself up.

He further said: "I do not know what made me kill Joseph D. McMillan. He was one of the best fellows in Miscouche. We had never quarreled. I have occasionally carried a revolver, when I would be walking along the road or through the woods."

Dougherty said he was kicking a football with some other young men on Sunday evening when he noticed McMillan and Stella McDonald going to Summerside. Later on, he slipped away, got the revolver, and then followed the unlucky pair.

The murdered man was a son of the late Daniel McMillan of Miscouche and had been called home from the North West, where he had been employed by the C. P. Railway, on account of his father's death last October.

It appears that he intended shortly to take a trip to Winnipeg, where he owned property, and where it is alleged he was to be married and return to this Province with his bride.

Dougherty, who was arrested by Policeman Gough on Monday was taken to Summerside Jail. He will come up for a preliminary examination before Stipendiary Wright at Summerside tomorrow morning.

DEATH: MACINTYRE - LOCAL AND PROVINCIAL NEWS - OBITUARY - Sad it is to contemplate upon the cutting off of a young life full of promise, cut off from loving parents and friends, but the sadness and sorrow is alleviated, when a life full of goodness, of charity and of religion is considered, and the happy thought remains with loved ones, that the dear one gone is reposing in happiness and felicity in the bosom of the Saviour, whom she assiduously strove to imitate and serve. Such were the thoughts of each and every one, when the sad news was circulated, that Mary E. MacIntyre daughter of Ronald MacIntyre of Mill Cove, had departed this life on Monday morning, July 13th, at the early age of nineteen years. The deceased had been in failing health for some time, and fond hopes were at first held out for her recovery, but despite all that medical skill and kind ministeration could do, it was soon realized that her earthly course had run. Fortified by the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church, reconciled to the will of God, and trusting in the merits of her Redeemer, she calmly awaited the summons, until her soul was wafted to the great beyond, there to receive the reward meted out to those who strive to lead a pure and righteous life. She leaves to mourn a father, a mother, one sister and one brother to cherish her memory, and to trust through the goodness of God, to be reunited with her in Heaven. Her funeral took place on Wednesday morning to St. Michael's cemetery, Corran Ban, where all that was mortal of a pleasant companion, a dutiful daughter, and a loving sister was laid away to await the call of judgement. The pall bearers were Frank McDougall, William Rattray, Frank MacDonald, Philip Hughes, Æneas MacDonald and Peter A. Hughes. The PATRIOT joins in extending sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends. – Corr.

DEATH: NEWBERY-FRASER - LOCAL AND PROVINCIAL NEWS - The death occurred at the Charlottetown Hospital yesterday afternoon of Lola Maria Fraser, widow of the late Dr. James Fraser, formerly of St. Peter's Bay, and at one time a member of the Legislative Council of this Province.

She was a daughter of the late John Fenton Newbery, Esq., and a sister of the late Mrs. Sullivan, whose funeral took place yesterday morning; of Mr. Arthur Newbery, Provincial Secretary and Treasurer, Charlottetown; Fenton T., Walter and William Newbery, all of New York.

The late Mrs. Sullivan passed away on Wednesday morning, and the death of the two sisters within a few days of each other makes a double bereavement in the sorely stricken family, who will have the deep sympathy of a large circle of friends. The body will remain at the Charlottetown Hospital until Tuesday morning, when it will be taken to Dr. Conroy's rsidence, whence the funeral will take place on the arrival of the sons of the deceased from the West.

DEATH:
MACINNIS - LOCAL NEWS
- It is with the deepest regret that we learn of the untimely death of Miss Josephine McInnis, daughter of our esteemed friend, Mr. A. J. McInnis, Collector of Customs, Murray River. Josie had reached the tender age of fifteen years, when she was called away to the Home above. To know her was to love her, and in the family she will be greatly missed and mourned, and among her friends and companions her memory will be long cherished. Considering her years, Josie was a musician of unusual merit and her admirable playing of the violin has frequently delighted the people of that part of the country; indeed it is not too much to say that at public entertainments her performances were generally the feature of the programme and time and again she would be recalled. All who have known this talented young lady and listened to her playing, will feel the sincerest sympathy for the bereaved parents and family, who will live over in memory only the many happy evenings spent in the past, when the music of the violin and other instruments gave such delight to the McInnis family and their neighbors and friends. We most respectfully offer to the sorrowing parents, sisters and brothers our heartfelt sympathy. Two sisters, Faustina and Florence, at home, and two brothers, Howlan and Allan, in the West, survive her.

DEATH:
MACDONALD - OBITUARY
- A gloom of sadness was cast over the vicinity of West St. Peter's on November 4th, when it was made known that the spirit of Duncan McDonald, son of James A. and Mary McDonald, of that place, had passed away. Deceased was only 19 years of age and until within seven weeks of his death had enjoyed his usual good health, when "Bright's Disease" set in and despite all that medical aid and the kind ministration of parents and friends could do, the angel of death claimed him for his own. Deceased was of a kind amiable and retiring disposition, and by his early demise the community has lost a loving son, kind brother and faithful friend. During his illness he was attended by his zealous pastor, Rev. A. P. McLellan, and died strongly fortified by the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church.

On November 6th a large concourse of people followed his remains to St. Andrew's church, where a high mass was celebrated by the Rev. pastor after which all that was mortal of poor Duncan was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery there to await the final resurrection. To his sorrowing father, mother, seven sisters and seven brothers we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement. R.I.P.


There is no death; What seems so is transition
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of a life Elysian
Whose portal we call death.


He is not dead, the child of our affection
But gone into that school
Where he no longer needs our poor protection
And Christ himself doth rule.

DEATH:
MACDONALD - OBITUARY
- The home of Mr. James McDonald, Wheatley River, was overshadowed with sorrow on Wednesday, November 11th, when the merciless hand of death removed therefrom his youngest and most beloved child, Miss Sadie.

The deceased young lady had for many months been a patient sufferer during which time all the careful and constant nursing of a devoted mother and loving family together with the best medical attendance, was lavished upon her, but day by day the gentle sufferer grew weaker, until at last it became evident that human efforts were of no avail to save the life of this favorite child.

With true Christian patience and fortitude she bore her illness, and when death's angel came he found her ready, even glad to accompany him to eternity where we trust that she is ere this enjoying the reward of her short and innocent life of eighteen years.

At school and in the social circle she won the esteem of all with whom she came in contact. Nor could it be otherwise, for nature endowed her with a quiet and happy disposition. By none more than in the family circle where she ever proved herself a model of filial affection and sisterly kindness, will her presence be sadly missed.

The large funeral cortege left her father's home on Friday morning, and proceeded to St. Augustine's Church, Rustico, where the Solemn Requiem service was conducted by Rev. Father Chaisson, P.P. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a great number of friends who came to offer their prayers, mingled with tears, before the Throne of God for the repose of her soul.

A kind father and mother, two sisters and three brothers survive to mourn the loss of a loving daughter and affectionate sister.

The deepest sympathy of the entire community is theirs in this sad bereavement. May she rest in peace. – Com.

DEATH:
MACINNIS - OBITUARY
- Died, at Murray River, on the 9th inst., of osteos periostum, Josephine McInnis, the beloved daughter of Mr. A. J. McInnis, sub-collector of customs. Although the dread messenger came in the early morning of which happily promised to be a beautiful and exemplary life, yet, even at that early stage of her earthly existence, she had developed such fascinating and edifying traits of character as to enlist the esteem and secure the love and confidence of a wide circle of friends and relatives. Cheerful, unassuming, kind and courteous, she always derived sincere pleasure from the performance of some little act of benevolent nature, calculated to make others happy, and to brighten their path with a ray of that heavenly sunshine which the sad and stricken love to enjoy. For the performance of such beneficent acts, nature had eminently qualified her. Gifted with marvellously rich and rare musical talent, she joyfully applied them, to afford amusement and happiness to those who surrounded her. Numerous were the festive occasions at which "Little Josie" presided over the musical programme, with marked efficiency, tact and skill, and she was there, always the center of attraction, and the idol of the social circle. But, alas, her cheery voice is now forever hushed and the deft hand that once so swiftly swept the chords of her beloved violin is still forever; but long – long will her memory occupy a green spot in the hearts of those whose privilege it was to know and to love her. The last pathetic but sublime rites of mother church were solemnly performed by Father Johnston, who,

 

Spoke the last farewell on the shore

Of this rude world when all is o'er,

Which cheers the spirit ere its barque

Puts off into the unknown dark."
 

She was followed to her last resting place, in the Catholic Cemetery at Sturgeon, by a large concourse of sorrowing friends, and there, by their loving hands, tenderly and reverently laid to rest, when many a genuine tear was shed and many a prayer fervently uttered as mother earth softly clasped to her maternal embrace, all that was earthly of the deeply loved and deservedly mourned "Little Josie McInnis." In this dark hour of affliction we beg to extend our sincere sympathy to her grief-stricken parents, sisters and brothers. May she rest in peace. – Com.

DEATH:
MACSWAIN - Death of John McSwain
- The uncertainty of life is again brought home to us by the death of Mr. John McSwain. He was at THE EXAMINER Office on Saturday, apparently in his usual good health. A stroke of paralysis from the dread messenger quickly separated the mortal from the immortal part of a good man. Mr. McSwain was one of those who quietly and unostentatiously attend to their duties and pursue the even tenor of their ways. Yet he possessed a strong and high character which made itself felt beyond the circle in which he moved. A first-class teacher, he was early in life promoted to the position of School Inspector. Afterwards he was, for a time, Master of the Normal School and then Principal of Queen Square School. In his more advanced years he occupied the position of Instructor in Botany and Drawing, and was recognized as a Naturalist who loved the study of Nature. He became President of our Natural History and Antiquarian Society and was at the time President of the Caledonia Club. He leaves a bereaved widow and family to cherish his memory, and a community in which he will be greatly missed. To his sorrowing relatives THE EXAMINER's heartfelt sympathy is given.

Sweet flowers to life shall kiss,

And thoughts shall bloom that she is free

From sorrow such as this.
