Death of Mr. George Landreth, of Blenheim

We regret to learn that this old and respected resident, of Blenheim died on Monday last. Mr. Landreth was in his 69th year. He was widely known and universally respected. For some years he has been a sufferer from an obscure disease which at times caused him great suffering. His last visit to Galt was made about two weeks ago and he then looked as if, although not well, he had still some years of usefulness before him. His funeral took place yesterday (Thursday) and was very largely attended by the many friends he had made during his long and honorable life. The deceased gentleman was a brother of Mr. Andrew Landreth, of Galt.
