This week it becomes our said duty to chronicle the death of Mr. John Currie, which sad event took place on Thursday morning, the 6th inst., at his residence about two miles east of here. He had been declining in health several years hut about two years ago paraly- sis weakened and affected him so that he lost nearly all his mental and phy- sieial powers and during the past eight months he was confined to his bed and was completely helpless and appeared to have very little knowledge of what was going on. Mr. Currie was born in North Sherebrooke, in the County of Lanark, in the year 1831 and would have been 68 years old had he lived one day snore. He moved from there in the year 1.867 on Lot 4, Con. 11, in the township of Hibbert, where he has resided ever since. Hewers arllan pos- sessed of good abilities and exception- ally well read on the past and current events of the tinges and being a good conversationalist his company was very desirable. He was a good and conststant inlember of the Presbyter- ian church here .and a staunch Liberal in politics, gainedfi'om study, observa- tion and education. He was married. to Miss Agnes McDougall, and the un- ion was blessed with four sons -Archie Neil, John and Hugh, all of whonx sur- vive him. Neil is a machinist and en gineer and is now employed in the Waterous Co.,� Brantford with whom.. he learned hisbusiness.' He is now in South America looking after the inter- ests of that company. John, the third son, is doing a prosperous veterinary business in one of the towns in the state of New York. Archie and Hugh - are on the homestead. Deceased was a kind and affectionate father, a gen- tle and•loving husband, an honoxal.le a and obliging nei,hbor, fair andcolxsid- -ate in all his dealings, and will be Mach missed in the community.
