• Notes

  Galt, March 21.-William Buchanan 78 years of age, a widower, committed suicide by hanging himself in his stable this morning. Mr. Buchanan, who retired to Galt from his farm near Glenmorris about fifteen years ago, was highly respected and of independent means. Worry, superinduced by imaginary troubles, is the supposed cause of his act. A grown up family of sons and daughters survive him, among the former being Dr. John Buchanan, the well known medical missionary to India: The Chronicle Telegraph, 30 Mar 1905, p. 6
