    Notes:

    Death of a Well-Known Resident of North Dumfries

    There passed away suddenly on Saturday morning last, a well-known and respected resident of North Dumfries, Mr. Wm. Abra, sr. Mr. Abra got up apparently quite well on Saturday morning and took a walk out on the farm. Returning after a little while, he complained to his wife that he had fallen down and hurt his shoulder while out. Mrs. Abra got him a drink of water, and as he complained of his head being very hot, she bathed it with cold water. He then said he thought he would like to lay down and Mrs. Abra took him by the arm, and as he seemed feeble one of his daughters took him by the other arm and assisted him. He had scarcely passed into another room before he said he could go no further, and asked them to get him a pillow and he would lie down on the floor there. This was done and he was scarcely laid down before he became insensible, and in the course of a very short time, breathed his last. Medical aid hastily summoned finding the cause of his death to be extravasation of blood in the brain.

    Mr. Abra was English by birth, and came from near Swatham, in the County of Norfolk. He was born in 1815 and landed in Canada on the 1st of July, 1842. Making for a location in Upper Canada, he reached the neighborhood of Haysville, where he worked for four years, then marrying Miss Elizabeth Wismer, and the young couple purchased the farm on which they have since resided. Their family consisted of thirteen children, of whom ten are yet living , viz.:- Mrs. B. Wismer, of Waterloo, Miss Hannah, unmarried, Mr. Joseph Abra, farming about a mile north of Roseville, Mr. Moses Abra, farming near the old homestead, Mr. Wm. Abra, carpenter and builder, of Toronto, and Henry, Jacob, Julia, Lizzie and Mamie, the younger members of the family residing on the homestead.
