  • Notes 
    • Third Line - the death of Mr. John Freeborn which occurred at his farm on the 3rd line, opposite Zion Presbyterian Church, on Monday evening, removes one of our aged and highly esteemed residents. He was in his 82nd year and has lived here for very many years. For some years past he has been troubled with a cancerous growth upon his face which has been a source of much pain to him as it gradually grew worse, and it no doubt hastened his death, which was the result of illness which his extreme age and feebleness could not withstand. His funeral will occur today (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock, interment being in the 3rd line cemetery, a mile or so east of his home.
