Sudden Death of Mr. Alexander A. Keachie

Mr. Alexander A. Keachie a well-known farmer of the 9ch Con. North Dumfries, died very unexpectedly, at his residence at an early hour on Tuesday morning. Mr. Keachie was in his usual health on Sunday and attended service at the U. P. church on that day. On Monday morning he went about his ordinary farm duties, apparently as well as he had ever been. During the day he was seized with an attack of bowel complaint and was obliged to leave his work. No serious trouble, however, was anticipated till a late hour at night, when it was thought advisable to summon medical assistance. After the arrival of his physician, it was seen that death was rapidly approaching and that medical skill would be of no avail and at 4: 30 a. m. on Tuesday, he passed away. Heart failure is said to have been the immediate cause of death. Deceased was born on the farm at present, occupied by his brother Mr. Jas. A. Keachie and in early life settled on the farm occupied by him at the time of his death, which was then bush land. He was married to Miss Hannah Cornell, daughter of the late Enoch Cornell, who, together with a family of three sons and two daughters, survives him. His children are James of Blenheim, Enoch and Alexander in Manitoba, Mrs. Arthur Dale of Galt and Miss Lizzie Keachie, who resides at home. Deceased was a consistent member of the U. P. church and was very generally respected by all who knew him. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, to Mount View Cemetery, the very large number present, indicating the esteem in which he was held.

Notes:

"Enoch Cornell, father of Jonas, a thrifty agriculturist, was born in the State of New York in 1788, and there in a well regulated home received wholesome rearing. Practical knowledge of agriculture decided him upon reaching manhood to engage in that pursuit, which he followed for the most part throughout his active career. After attaining some success in this line, and while still a young man, he married in Ontario, Mary Sipes, who was born in the State of New York, and of this union there were nine children: Sylvanus, who was a farmer of Bosanquet township, Lambton County, for many years, died in Manitoba. Joanna married Daniel Wintemute. Harriet was the wife of Aaron Cornell, both being now deceased. Joseph and Andrew, who were both residents of Bosanquet township, are deceased. John lives in Thedford. Jonas mentioned elsewhere. Stephen, who resided in Bosanquet township, and Hannah, who married Alexander Ketchie, are now deceased.

After marriage, Mr. Cornell settled upon a tract of new land in Beverley township, County of Wentworth, Ont., and began making improvements. He opened up new areas, put the land under excellent cultivation, and and was soon carrying on a flourishing industry. His well-furrowed fields yielded excellent crops of grain and vegetables, and his pasture and orchards were among the finest in his locality. In his methods he was progressive, and he equipped his farm with everything necessarty for carrying on all branches of general agriculture. Success crowned his efforts, and he in time became not only a leading agriculturist of his vicinty, but also a throughly properous one. He continued his labours in this section the rest of his active life, and there died in 1848."1a
