• Notes

  SAMPSON (Galt) - A very fine young woman, the daughter of Mr. Theophilus Sampson, J.P., of Galt, was visiting last week at the house of Mrs. Gardner near the village of Hespeler and was in the enjoyment of apparently robust health and in the highest spirits when she suddenly complained of a pain in her chest and lay down to rest where she continued gradually to get worse. The symptoms became alarming; the neighbours were called in; but still the suffering increased. Messengers were despatched to Galt for her parents and for surgical assistance, but before either had arrived, the spirit of the poor sufferer had departed and she was at rest. She was only in her 22nd year. On a post mortem examination, it was discovered that young as she was an important portion of her heart had been converted from muscle into bone, and refusing to perform its functions, a premature and deeply deplored death was the sudden consequence. Hamilton Spectator 14 Jan 1860
