• Notes

  Note: This is not the complete obit. Images are missing. … the thirteen children born to Mr. and Mrs. McFeiggan three died in infancy, and one, Miss Diana, was killed at the terrible accident at the Desjardin's bridge, near Hamilton, on the 18th March, 1857. She had accompanied the family of Mr. Emilus Irving from Galt to Hamilton as nurse, and having been in Toronto was returning to Hamilton by the ill-fated train, and was one of the victims drawn out from the terrible wreck. Another daughter, Margaret, was married in Galt to Mr. John Montgomery, tailor, but she had only been married about six months when she was cut down by death with scarcely a moment's warning. The other eight still survive, viz.: - James, Inspector for Mutual Ins. Co.; David, employed at the works of Goldie & McCulloch; John, employed in the same works; Miss Elizabeth, remaining at home; Mrs. G. smith, of Galt; Mrs. Ross, of Galt; Mrs. S. Barnett, of Erie, Penn.; and Mrs. McEachern, of Galt. All these were at home when their mother died, and were able to smooth the … Galt Reporter Feb 24 1888 pg 1 _________ MELANCHOLY CASE OF SUDDEN DEATH IN GALT. - Last Sunday afternoon, Mrs. John Montgoniery, daughter of Mr. Mc- Figgin, whilst sitting at dinner, suddenly complained of a very severe pain in the head, and immediately became insensible. Dr. Carrier was called in, and employed all the restorative means that his art recommends under such circumstances, but without avail. The patient gradually sank, and died, two hours after the attack, without recovering her consciousness. She is the fourth member of this connexion who has died in the same manner within the last few years. It is Dr. Carrier's opinion that Mrs. Montgomery died from the Rupture of one of the large blood-vessels of the brain. Com. Galt Reporter.
