Friends and acquaintances will please accept this intimation. - Job 1: 21. Waterloo Historical Society Death Notices Collection - photocopies _________________________ Died in the North West We sincerely regret to have to record the death at Calgary, N.W.T., on Saturday last, of a young man well-known and highly esteemed in this village and country, in the person of Albert John Currie, second son of Mr. Wm. Currie of Ayr, aged 25 years. The deceased went to the Northwest last spring and engaged in ranching with his brother Fred, who had preceded him some two years. They were doing well and intended becoming permanent settlers. Some three weeks ago, however, Albert contracted typhoid fever and was taken to the Calgary hospital, where he received every attention possible, being visited almost daily by his brother and an aunt, Miss Jane Little, who resided in Calgary. He continued to grow worse, however, and on Saturday passed away somewhat suddenly. The body was brought here for interment, accompanied by deceased's brother, and the funeral takes place to Ayr cemetery this (Thursday) afternoon. Albert John was an exemplary young man and a host of friends in and about Ayr, his birthplace, will deeply regret his demise. The father, sisters and brother who survive - his mother having predeceased him some 2-1/2 years - will have the sympathy of the entire community. One sister, Isabella, resides in Winnipeg, Jane in Galt and Agnes at home. The funeral takes place at 2.30 from the residence of deceased's uncle, Mr. John Currie, and will doubtless be largely attended. The Ayr News Dec 8 1904 pg 3
