      On Tuesday night, March 31, 1933, at 74 Selkirk St. in Galt, in his 76th year. Mr. McConnell had been confined to his bed since last November. He was born in Ireland and had lived in Canada for forty-five years, the last three of which were spent with his son, Stuart, at the above address. For many years, Mr. McConnell was an employee of the Christie-Henderson Lime Kiln at Puslinch but has lived retired in Galt.
