    Notes:

    Death of Mr. Robert Scrimger - This very old and respected gentleman died at his residence in Galt on Monday evening last. Some months ago Mr. Scrimger met with a serious fall, from which he has since been a very severe sufferer. The deceased was born in Athol, Scotland, in 1798. With his parents and large family of brothers and sisters he came to this continent, the family settling first in York State. After residing there about fifteen years Mr. Scrimger came to Canada, first settling on land in the Township of London. He remained there but a short time removing to some land just adjoining his brother John's farm on Moffat's Creek. This he sold to the late Andrew Stewart. He then moved on the farm near Martin's Mills, the locality even now being best known to our old residents as "Scrimger's Saw Mill." Residing there for many years he finally moved into Galt, where he has since resided. His widow still survives him. Of his brothers and sisters three brothers and two sisters yet survive him all old men and women. Of his own family four sons, Messrs. Jas. R. William, and David, reside in Galt and Mr. George Scrimger in Beverly. Four daughters are also living.

    The funeral took place yesterday and was most largely attended by relatives and the many friends of the family.
