      Death of Mr. Thomas Rutherford, of North Dumfries

      Most regretfully we announce the death of Mr. Thomas Rutherford, of North Dumfries, which occurred at his residence yesterday (Thursday) morning. A short time ago Mr. Rutherford was attacked with illness from which at that time he appeared to almost entirely recover, and was able to engage in his usual occupations, being apparently quite well at the meeting of North Dumfries Council which he attended in March. Even last week he was in Galt, being present at the Fair on Wednesday last, but since then grave symptoms of serious illness of an inflammatory nature showed themselves and he gradually sank to his rest at 3 o'clock on Thursday morning.

      Mr. Rutherford was one of the exemplary young men of this section and was most deservedly held in high esteem by his very large circle of friends and acquaintances. In 1885 he was elected by acclamation as Councilor for Ward No. 1 and again in 1886, bringing to the office to which he had been elected that singleness of purpose in the discharge of his duties which retained and enlarged the confidence reposed in him. He was the eldest son of our respected townsman, Mr. Thos. Rutherford, of Beverly Street. He was married to Miss Henderson, of Esquesing by whom he leaves a family of seven children.

      His funeral will take place this (Friday) afternoon, at 3 o'clock, from his late residence to Galt cemetery.
