Death of Mr. Hugh Baxter

A wide section of the township of Blenheim is in deep mourning this week on account of the death of one of its best known and most popular sons, in the person of Hugh McIntyre Baxter, who passed away rather unexpectedly on Tuesday morning after an illness of only about ten days, his trouble being tonsillitis and complications. The deceased was still a young man, being in his 38th year, and though not of a robust constitution, should ordinarily have been good for many years to come. An all-wise Providence willed it otherwise, and though friends may mourn, they also bow in submission. The deceased was born on the Baxter homestead, 10th Con., Blenheim, and having lived there or in the neighborhood all his life was west known in the community as a man of moral habits, religious principles and neighborly instincts.
As a member of a musical family, he was partial to the violin, and was leader of the popular organization known as the "Baxter Orchestra." About 7 years ago he was joined in wedlock with Miss Audrey Landreth of Ayr, who, with two children (Richard and Elizabeth), survives, together with his mother, two brothers and five sisters, namely: Mrs. McKenzie Edgar, Lindsay; Mrs. Jarius Maus, South Dumfries; Isabel, Margaret, Jean, Richard and James at home. The late Mr. Baxter was a Liberal in politics and a Presbyterian, being a member of Knox United Church, Ayr. The funeral takes place from deceased's late home, Lot 7, Con. 11, Blenheim, this (Thursday) afternoon, at 2;30 o'clock, to the Ayr cemetery.

Death of Richard Baxter - The death on Saturday evening at the residence of his mother-in-law, Blenheim, of Mr. Richard Baxter came as a shock to the community. On the 22nd of August last Mr. Baxter had the misfortune to sustain two fractures of his left leg. Under good surgical treatment the limb progressed favorably and the chances for a speedy recovery looked good, but Mr. Baxter was very restless under confinement and liver trouble developed, whether as the result of predisposition or of internal injuries received, in the accident is not definitely known. The deceased was in his 50th year and was born in Blenheim. In 1885 he married Miss Elizabeth Lillico, who, with a family of eight - three sons and five daughters - survives him. Of a quiet, unobtrusive disposition, he made many friends, all of whom will deeply regret his untimely end. In religion he was a Presbyterian and an elder in Knox church, while his political creed was strongly Liberal. Mr. Baxter was recognized as a good farmer and one who was making splendid headway. At the time of the accident he was busily engaged in the erection of a fine new house. The funeral took place from his late residence on Tuesday afternoon to Ayr cemetery and was very largely attended.

Demise of George Landreth - A citizen of Sterling Worth Passes to His Reward - The entire community sincerely regretted to learn of the death of Mr. George Landreth, which event occurred at his residence, Bute Street, Ayr, on Monday forenoon, after an illness extending over several months. The deceased had met with an accident at the C.P.R. a few years ago, but rallied and was doing nicely when he suffered a slight stroke and gradually declined. He was born on the 10th concession in the township of Blenheim and lived in that neighborhood the greater part of his life, coming to Ayr some 15 years ago.
