SUDDEN Dzirn.—The people in this community were sadly surprised last Saturday to hear that George McArter had died suddenly at the residence of W. H. Cloakey, 6th line. Many doubted the rumour at first, but 11 turned out only too true. It appears that the deceased, who was a strong, hearty young man of 26 years of age, had assisted at a wood bee at Mr. Oloakey'e during the afternoon and in the evening a social party was held. Dancing had been indulged in and at 12 o'olook supper was starved and "all went merry as a marriage bell." Short. ly after, while chatting with some young people, Mr. McArter was noticed to have a queer expression on his countenance and he went for a drink stating that he "had a call from above." He soon be- eeme unoonsuious and although every. thing possible was done by friends and physician; he passed away two hours after. The Dr. pronounced it apoplexy. Saturday forenoon the body was removed 10 the borne of his father, Wm. McArter, 8611 con., from whence the funeral took place on Monday. There were upwards of 100 rigs iu the procession. The ser. vies was oonduoted by Rev. D. Forrest, of Welton. The a bject of this notice was born in the township of 'Osborne, Huron Co., and oame to Morrie township with his father's family about 18 years ago. He served his apprenticeship as a tinsmith with 11lgetre, Hayoroft & Turn. bull, formerly of Brussels, and during the past two Summers has been in Manitoba. Last year the deceased had an attack of la grippe and it is said that when ease. troughing he was troubled with a dia. ziness in his head and a temporary lose of vision but nothing sedum was appro. bended. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the sorrowing relatives in their sudden bereavement. to lug gad nd to rs, ud ng ti ail it er he he to n, in nt v r. 0. at 11 n is is • e 6 e 0 h g e e • i . .Atwood.
