Deeply Mourned
'Hemorrhage Proved Fatal to
' ? Physician in Prime of Life
The following obituary appeared in
e Canton, New York, Plaindealer,
n December 17th, and is willingly
e r.d ed in The Star by reQuest.
n able Canton physician, a vigorous,
likeable, and . companionable man,
came as a great shock and sorrow
;„.tq. his.host. of friends and the commu-
nity. He was a young man, only 39
years of age, apparently of robust
and excellent health until a few
onths 'ago when his friends were
urprised to learn that he was re-
ceiving treatment for a serious stom-
ch and intestinal trouble. When he-
eturned home from the hospital last-
summer
ashsummer to resume his practice in this
village, it was with concern that
many noted how his strength had
failed. But he appeared to be mak-
ing steady, improvement, until nine
.-dayrs , before his -death when he was
faced' to give up his work. The end
came Friday evening at his residence
as the result •of an intestinal hem-
orrhage. ,
- Doctor Swarts was one of the
"�i"orge� of Canton's• Phys clans, av-
ng came to pyrites rn 1929, taking
over the practice formerly had by
• Dr. Broga. The paper mill soon after
closed down and he speedily saw the
,wisdom of Iocating in Canton vil-
lage and moved . his family here.
opening offices in the Barr Block
-, - where Dr. Andrews had been pre-
viously: There was great need for
another physician in the community
Swarts rapidly EuiIt up a
large, practice. He showed marked
ability as a diagnostician, was most
accomodating, . and the thing' which
will long be remembered of him was
"that he _.gave as generously of his time and talent to those without
means as he did to others:- In fact he
was one of those `members of the pro-
fession who loved his calling, who
possessed deep human sympathy, and
._.who gave--of-himself to his work un-
remittingly, and utterly regardless of
all thought of recompense. He be-
lieved his duty was to administer to
the sick, to -relieve human pain and
suffering. and he responded gener-
ously of his time.
Although he and his family had
only been residents here for five
years, they had made many friends.
Both Dr. and Mrs. Swarts - were en-
thusiastic members of the •Golf Club
and active in its program in many
ways. The Doctor • was an especially
genial companion and likeable man.
He worked hard, unusually so, and
without regard to his own health, and
he -played with equal zest. A great
sorrow overshadowed the family
shortly after they moved to this vil-
lage, when Dr. and Mrs. Swarts'
little daughter, three-year-old Betty
Jane, was ,,drowned in the Grasse
of tl+ie fflfantine home on Miner St.
This was in 1932.
Dr. Swarts was a native Canadian.
He was born May 19, 1$96, at Gode-
rich, Ont., the son of Thomas and
Jane McDonald Swarts, and received
his education in the Goderich schools. t
From there he went to Queens Uni-
versity to study medicine, graduating
in 1919. This was followed by 'an in-
ternship at the Broad Street hospital
ip New York City. He first practiced
at Sudbury, Ont., then at Chazy, and
from there came to Pyrites.'
He met and married Miss Amanda
Coe, of Clarksburg, West Virginia, in
New York, the' ceremony taking place
on June 6, 1925. Two children were
born to them,• the little daughter, and
a son, Thomas-, who with the widow
and the parents survive.
Funeral services were held from
.the Judson street residence, Monday

same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping
watch over. -their 'flock- by
night.
