      Death of James Griminer

      James Grimmer, a well known and highly respected resident of this community.died on Wednesday, Sept. 18th. Deceased had been ailing for about two years, but had not given up work until about two weeks previous to his death. Mr. Grimmer came to Canada in the year 1874 and for a few years resided in Mitchell. From Mitchell he came to this county and has recided here ever since. Those who knew him knew him as a gentleman and as a skilled workman. The funeral on Friday was largely attended. Rev. Mr. Ward preached a very appropriate sermon from the text - St. James 4-14, "For what is your life? It is even as a vapor that appeareth for a little while and then vanisheth away." The bearers were Messrs. S. and Ephraim Cassel, Thos. Mitchell, Hugh Collum, Fred Walker and Nelson La Fortune. A widow and family of eight survive to mourn the loss of a kind busband and father.
