• Notes

  In Galt, on Friday afternoon, 30th ult., at half-past 4 o'clock, George Arnott, eldest son of William W. Laidlaw, aged 15 years, 3 months and 11 days. Galt Reporter Oct 7 1881 pg 1 Part 1 A Sad Death - The death on Friday last of Mr. George A. Laidlaw, eldest son of Mr. Wm. W. Laidlaw, of this town, was a peculiarly heavy blow on a happy and mated family. The young man had only been ailing since the Monday previous, and appeared to be doing well until Thursday afternoon, when delirium set in, and about 4 o'clock on Friday he breathed his last. The deceased was employed in the machine works of Cant, Gourlay & Co., in which his father is a partner, and was universally respected by all who knew him. His parents have the earnest sympathy of their many friends extended to them. Galt Reporter Oct 7 1881 pg 1 Part 2
