Fordwich School Principal Passes
Citizens of Fordw-ich were deeply
shocked 'Wednesday evening to learn
of the unexpected death of Hugh
Burns Maclntyre, principal of the
local Public School since last autumn.
It appears Mr, McIntyre was a suffer-
er from a most severe heart affliction,
a fact that was known to few in this
community.
For the first time since coming here,
-he was unable Wednesday morning to
carry, on his school duties, but his con-
dition was not considered critical. He
was cheerful and bright throughout
the day, but about 5,30 p.m, his land-
lady, Mrs. Fred Demerling, and others
who were in the home, heard an un-
usual sound from Mr. McIntyre's
room. Investigation revealed him at
the point of expiring. Medical assist-
ance u-as called in, but to no avail.
Mr. McIntyre's home was at Wan
lacetown, where he was born. He was
about 52 years of age, unmarried, -and
is survived by five sisters. Members
of the family and a Dutton undertaker
arrived Wednesday night to take the
remains to Wallacetown. - Fordwich
