    _________________


    DEATH OF MR. THOMAS HALL. -     News of the death of this well known resident of Blenheim will be a surprise to many of our readers. Mr. Hall was in Ayr about three weeks ago and to a casual observer would appear to have been in his usual health. It appears, however, that he had been ailing for a year past, being afflicted with kidney and urinary troubles, and of late gradually sank until on Tuesday morning! about 2 o'clock he breathed his last. Thomas Hall was the eldest son of the late Andrew Hall of Blenheim. He was born in Roxburghshire, Scotland, and came with his parents to Canada in 1834, when about eight years of age. The family settled upon the homestead now occupied by Mr. Wm. Hall and it may be said that the deceased remained almost within sight of the old home farm until his death. Some 36 or 37 years ago Mr. Hall was married to Agnes Robson, daughter of the late John Robson of Ayr, a most estimable lady, who survives him. By her he had nine children,only one of whom died before him, a daughter who passed away at a tender age. Those remaining are, Andrew and John, both prosperous farmers on concession 12, Blenheim; Agnes, wife of Mr. John Maus, S. Dumfries, and Isabella, Thomas, Jennie, Alexander and Oliver, who reside at the family home, lot 15, con. 13, Blenheim, Mr. Hall was in his younger days a most energetic worker. His business was always carefully conducted, with the result that early in life he had acquired a competency. Wealth accumulated with him and for years he had been considered one of the most opulent residents of the wealthy township of Blenheim. His friend, Isaac Master, M. P. P., who was in town on Tuesday, in speaking of him said he looked upon Mr. Hall as having been one of the most thorough business men in the community. He was not slow to extend a helping hand to those in need and, we believe, not a few have been tided over a serious business crisis by funds advanced by Thomas Hall. Undoubtedly he will leave a place in the community which will be hard to fill. But in the home from which he has gone only those who have there been intimately associated by the most tender ties can tell what a void his death has left. And the bereavement will be the more keenly felt from the fact that death has been long unknown in the home, and comparatively little known in the more immediate circle of relatives. Mr. Hall was a brother of Messrs. Stephen, Andrew and Wm. Hall and Mrs. Anthony Marshall of Blenheim, and Mrs. Sheriff Perry of Woodstock, and one of his brothers informs us that his is the first death in the family for 37 years. The deceased had attained the age of nearly 63 years, The widow and family have the warm condolence of many friends in their sad loss. This (Thursday) afternoon the last sad rites will be observed, the funeral taking place to the new cemetery, Ayr.

    Notes:

    GEMMILL An accident occurred in West Dumfries on Friday, the 17th ultimo, to Mr. John Gemmill, which we regret to state has terminated fatally. It appears that Mr. Gemmill was returning from Ayr on the afternoon in question with a yoke of oxen attached to a sleigh, and that by some means or other, he must have fallen off the sleigh, and received the injury from which he died. No person was with him at the time, and it was only the arrival of the oxen without Mr. Gemmill that aroused the fears of the family. His brother immediately set out in search of him, and discovered him lying on the side of the road a short distance from Ayr. He was immediately carried home and medical assistance procured, when it was found that his leg was broken in three places, and that he was otherwise injured. It was at one time hoped that his limb might be saved, but unfavourable symptoms set in, and his medical attendants, Drs. McGeorge and Caw, considered that amputation of the leg was the only chance to save his life. This was accordingly performed, but Mr. Gemmill never rallied, and expired on Saturday last. His funeral took place on Monday. Mr. Gemmill was well known in Galt and vicinity and was formerly employed in the foundry of Messrs Lutz and Company.
