  • Notes 
    • It is with sincere regret that we announce the death of this gentleman, which took place at his residence, Sprague's Road, Dumfries on Sabbath evening last. Mr Sudden was an old resident of the Township, and was universally respected. He succumbed after a comparatively short illness to inflammation of the lungs, and his funeral on Tuesday was very largely attended. Mr Sudden had resided on the farm on which he died for nearly fifty years off and on, and was in the 67 year of his age. He leaves a widow and four children to mourn his loss.
