Sudden Call

Well Known Blenheim Farmer Drops Dead


Tragic events sometimes occur amid the most peaceful surroundings, and now and again it is forcibly brought home to us that in the midst of life we are in death. On Friday evening last in the quiet and peace of his own home, the Angel of Death visited George Mitchell and the transition from life to death was as sudden as the twinkling of an eye.


During the afternoon Mr. Mitchell had attended an auction sale on the farm of a neighbor - Mr. Chas. Scott - some half a mile distant, where he made some purchases, settled for them and had just returned home when he was summoned to the Great Beyond. On entering his home he passed some pleasantries with those present and took a drink of water. A moment later he fell to the floor and died instantly. The shock to the grief stricken family can be better imagined than described.


The deceased was apparently in his usual good health and had given no indication of the sudden termination of life that awaited him. He was yet only a little past his prime, at the age of 59 years. The day of his death was tragic too, in that it was the 36^th anniversary of his wedding. He was born near Ayr, on the farm at present occupied by Mr. James Lewis. In politics he was a Reformer and in religion a Presbyterian.


Mr. Mitchell is survived by his wife (nee Miss Catherine Brown) and the following family: Mrs. Peter Gourlay and Mrs. Wm. Brown, North Dumfries, Hilda, Edna, Margaret and David at home. Another son, Hardy, died a few years ago. A brother of Mr. Mitchell resides in Alaska and a sister, Mrs. John Smith, is at Jerseyville, Ont.

The funeral on Monday from his late home, lot 1, con. 12, Blenheim, to the Ayr cemetery, was largely attended, deceased's pastor, Rev. J.J. Brown, conducting the service.


The pallbearers were Messrs. John Smith, John McDonald and David, Douglas, Thomas and John Brown.

Notes:

DEATH OF MR. WALTER BRAIDWOOD - this very old resident of Galt passed away at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. John Rutherford, in Waterloo, on Monday morning last, almost suddenly. He had been in his usual health up to Sabbath, but that day did not appear to be quite well, although up and taking his meals. Monday morning, Mr. Rutherford went to his room and lit his fire and he then said he did not feel quite well and would go back to bed. In a short time Mrs. Rutherford took him up some breakfast, of which he had taken scarcely a mouthful before he complained of severe pain in the region of his heart and lying back in his bed almost instantly breathed his last, heart disease or failure of the heart being the supposed cause of death.

Mr. Braidwood was in his 81st year. He came from Roxburghshire, Scotland, to this country in 1841. Of his early years after coming here we find but little record, but soon he entered into business as a butcher with Mr. Wm. Ramsay, on North Water Street. Carrying this on for some time, the firm dissolved and went out of business, and from that time, if we mistake not, Mr. Braidwood principally occupied himself with dealing in hides, accumulating considerable means. Old age and the loss of his aged wife caused his withdrawal from active life, and for some years he has taken his ease, latterly, for the sake of companionship, residing with Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford. Mr. Braidwood was an active, cheery man, widely known and very much respected. He leaves one son, Mr. Wm. Braidwood, of Pontiac, Michigan, and three daughters, viz.: Mrs. John Rutherford, of Waterloo, Mrs. John Kay, and Mrs. John wells, of St. Catherine's.

Mr. Braidwood's funeral took place on Wednesday last, from Mr. Rutherford's residence, Waterloo, to Mount View Cemetery, Galt, being largely attended by his old friends.

Death of Mrs. Walter Braidwood

We have before mentioned the serious illness of this aged and long resident of Galt. During the last week or more it was evident that her death was to be expected and it was therefore no surprise to the many friends of the family to hear on Saturday morning that she had passed to her eternal rest. Her son, Mr. Wm. Braidwood, was over from Pontiac, Michigan, a few days before her death, and while the end was evidently not far off, it was not expected so soon as it occurred, consequently business engagements compelled his return on Friday. For her aged husband, in the bitter hour of his sorrow, there is only left the warm sympathy of his many old friends.
