    Death of Mr. Theophiles Sampson

    It is with regret that we announce the death of this at one time well known resident of Galt, which occurred at Charlotteville, Norfolk Co., on Saturday, May 30th. Mr. Sampson's illness was of but short duration, he having been confined to the house for but two or three days. Some twenty-five of thirty years ago, the subject of this notice was a prominent man in Galt. He at various times accepted the position of assessor, as well as collector; while as a magistrate he took in his hands the entire magisterial business of the village, and "I'll take you before Sampson" became synonymous with threatening all the powers of the law. The march of the age at length left the old gentleman behind, and a good many years ago now he left Galt to reside in Norfolk County, where it was understood he had taken up a farm. Since then, he has only paid occasional visits to the town, the last being but a few months ago. It was then remarked how well he looked, and how lightly age had dealt with him; and little did those who met and greeted him imagine that the next they would hear of him would be the account of his death. But it was so ordained and among his old acquaintances there will be many who will read these lines with regret. Mr. Sampson was aged 77 years at the time of his death.

    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.
