  MCARTHUR, J. A. was first mentioned on June 8, 1882 when his marriage to the third daughter of L. Van Camp, the Berlin dental surgeon, was announced. His address at that time was Port Elgin. On December 19. 1889, the Berliner Journal had a notice that he had moved to Berlin. His card said that he was a graduate of McGill University, and that his office was in the Grand Central Block opposite the Market Hotel. The Daily Record of October 26, 1893 announced that he had disposed of his practice to Dr. Arnott of Toronto, and that he was moving to Ohio. He was to be an assistant in a practice which had extensive railway contracts. Dr. Alexander D.

McArthur who was calling at the house. Dr. O'Neill was summoned at once, but Dr. McArthur had already succumbed to heart failure. He had been suffering for some time past from heart disease, and though his wife was not unprepared for the emergency, death came with startling suddenness.

The remains, which are at the B. C. Funeral parlors. are being embalmed for shipment to Ottawa, where interment will take place. The deceased is survived by his wife.
