    Notes:

    DROWNED IN CROSSHILL
    William Campbell Loses His Life While Bathing.- Close Call For Charles Burkitt.

    A terrible fatality occurred at Crosshill on Sunday afternoon last by which Mr. William Campbell, only son of J. H. Campbell, Esq. lost his life, and a companion narrowly escaped a similar fate.

    A party consisting of Messrs Art. Rennie, Geo. Richardson, Walter Barnaby, Chas. Burkitt and Will Campbell walked over to a small pool of water on the boundary between W. Wilford and E. Playford's farms, just east of the village. Campbell and Burkett stripped and went in to enjoy a bathe, the other young men remaining on the shore. Burkett swam across the pond. When Campbell who was only half way across called to him for assistance and he immediately swam to Campbell. Those on the shore apparently did not realize that their companions were struggling with death until Chas. Burkett left his friend made for the shore calling to those looking on to help. A fence rail was extended to him by which he assisted himself nearly to shore when he sank exhausted in about one foot of Water from which he was easily rescued. Meantime poor Campbell had sank in about five feet of water only 12 or 15 feet from shore. Campbell undoubtedly was taken with cramps as he was a strong swimmer and could easily have waded to shore. It was about an hour before his body was brought to land.

    Dr. Glaister had been telephoned for and on his arrival attended to Burkett who was in a critical condition for a time but is now about recovered. William Lorne McKenzie Campbell. who was nearing his 30th year, was young man of good qualities and was widely popular among all the people of this section, and his untimely death has caused profound sorrow and sympathy for the bereaved family. Deceased was chief Ranger of the Crosshill Lodge, (No. 335) C. O. F. and the remain [sic] were interred in Rush's cemetery on Tuesday afternoon by the brethren in the presence of a vast concourse of people, many of whom came from long distances to be present.
