• Notes

  Died, In Blenheim, on Saturday, Sept. 14th, 1907, at 7.30 p.m., Richard Baxter, In his 50th Year. The Funeral Will take place from his late residence, Lot 10, Con. 10, Blenheim, on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 2.30 p.m., to Ayr Cemetery. Friends and acquaintances will please accept this intimation. Waterloo Historical Society Death Notices Collection - photocopies ___________________ Death of Richard Baxter - The death on Saturday evening at the residence of his mother-in-law, Blenheim, of Mr. Richard Baxter came as a shock to the community. On the 22nd of August last Mr. Baxter had the misfortune to sustain two fractures of his left leg. Under good surgical treatment the limb progressed favorably and the chances for a speedy recovery looked good, but Mr. Baxter was very restless under confinement and liver trouble developed, whether as the result of predisposition or of internal injuries received, in the accident is not definitely known. The deceased was in his 50th year and was born in Blenheim. In 1885 he married Miss Elizabeth Lillico, who, with a family of eight - three sons and five daughters - survives him. Of a quiet, unobtrusive disposition, he made many friends, all of whom will deeply regret his untimely end. In religion he was a Presbyterian and an elder in Knox church, while his political creed was strongly Liberal. Mr. Baxter was recognized as a good farmer and one who was making splendid headway. At the time of the accident he was busily engaged in the erection of a fine new house. The funeral took place from his late residence on Tuesday afternoon to Ayr cemetery and was very largely attended. The Ayr News Sep 19 1907 pg 8
