Death of Mr. saaptoa.
There died at his residence, Lot 21,
Con. 2, Stephen, on Saturday morning,
July Otb, an old and respected resid-
ent of the township in the person of
Mr. Thomas Shapton. Death was due
to an accident which he sustained on
the Thursday previous. He had gone
to the field with :e mower to which
was attached a team of horses, one of
which was a young beast. Mr. Shap -
ton had not been very well during the
spring and had worked hard on Wed-
nesday. Thursday morning be men-
tioned that he thought "he had over
done it a little yesterday," but still he
liked to drive the horses and thought
he could Manage alright. As the com-
mencement of the accident was not
witnessed by anyone it is not known
whether he was overcome with the
exertion and heat or whether it was
due to the horses being restive. At
any tate he fell off the mower and was
either run over by the wheel or struck
it heavily, after which his foot caught
in 0 guard and the horses running
away he was dragged along the ground
for some rods, his head striking heav-
ily at each hound of the horses. His
son Edward was working in the field
and reached the scene of the accident
about the tirne that his father became
released. He was immediately taken
home and a doctor summoned, when
it was found that he had some ribs
broken, and was otherwise bruised.
He remained conscious for a short
time but then lapsed into unconscious-
ness, in which condition he remained
almost continually until his death.
Deceased was 68 years, 5 months and 0
lays of age. Born in Pyworthy. Eng.,
in 1K30, he came to Canada with his
parents in 1843, and they settled on
the farm on which Mr. Shapton bas
continually resided for 64 year's. This
is probably a longer time than any
other person in the township has re-
sided on one farm. In 18(15 he married
Miss Mary Amy, who with four grown-
up children survives. The children are:
James, Hiram, Edward and Miss Ella.
Deceased was a man of thrift and in-
dustry, possessed of more than the
ordinary intelligence, but withal quiet
and reserved. Ile was a thorough far-
mer and seldom was anything ap-
proaching a poor crop seen in one of
his fields. In religion he was a con-
sistent member of the James street
Methodist church. The sympathy of
the whole community goes out to the
bereaved in the sadden taking off of
the head of the home. The funeral
was largely attended on Monday, the
remains being interred in Exeter cem-
etery. The floral offerings were num-
erous and very beaatiful.
