    • Thomas G. Brown Fatally Injured

      A very sad accident occurred on Thursday last at Nith Grove, which later proved fatal, when Thomas G. Brown, son of the late Charles D. Brown and Elizabeth Warren Brown, was struck on the back of the head by a falling scantling while tearing down an old building. He was rendered unconscious and remained in that condition until he passed away at midnight. Dr. McLennan, of Plattsville, was called and he summoned Dr. Glaister, of Wellesley, who brought his daughter who is also a Doctor. Dr. Oakes, of Preston, was also summoned but nothing could be done to save his life. The deceased was in his 47th year and was well known and a highly respected citizen of this community. He was a regular attendant at Christ Church, Haysville, and an active member of the A. Y. P. A. He also took an active interest in all community affairs and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

      The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon from his late residence to Christ church, where service was held with Rev. Mr. Pitts and Rev. Mr. Owen officiating. A short service was held at the house. Interment was made in St. James's Cemetery, Huron road, the pallbearers were: Fred Walker, Eph. Shantz, R. T. Puddicombe, Jack Tye, Davey and Willard Brown, two nephews of the deceased.

      He leaves to mourn their loss six sisters and two brothers, namely, (Louse) Mrs. F Speilman, Montreal, (Mabel) Mrs. R. H. M. Falls, also of Montreal, (Ethel) Mrs. Hugh Field, Chilliwack, B.C., (Frederica) Mrs. John Patterson, of Brampton, (Janie) Mrs. E. Grasett, of Blair, Carrie and George at home and Everard, of Mount Pleasant. The funeral was attended by a large concourse of friends.
