Sad Death

It has been the lot of the Reporter during the years in which it has paid its weekly visits to its readers to record many painful bereavements; but It never fell to the lot of the writer to record one more distressing than that which fell upon the household of our respected old friend Mr. Hugh Fairgrieve, farmer, North Dumfries, last Friday. For a few days previous his son William R. had not been well, complaining very much of the cold, and had remained in the house sitting by the stove. He had taken some medicine but declined to consult a doctor, saying that he would be all right in a day or two. Shortly after noon on Friday he left the house and was noticed going toward the driving shed. Not returning, his aged mother became somewhat uneasy, but thought he had gone over to his brother, some distance away; but as time passed she sent out her daughter to see if she could see him. On entering the driving shed the sister was horrified at discovering the body of her brother hanging, by the neck from one of the rafters. An alarm was instantly given, but the young man was quite dead when taken down. It is needless to say that the family so painfully bereaved bear with them the sympathy of the entire neighborhood. No possible reason can be assigned for the act, Mr. Fairgrieve being a steady and hard working young man, and one that carried with him the respect of all who knew him. He was a member of the C. P. Church choir in this town, and was present at the usual services in this church on the Sunday previous. He was in the 31st year or his age, and unmarried.

Notes:

Alcohol Killed Nurse At Galt - Spirits Were Given By Drug Store Without Doctor's Order

Special to The Toronto World - Galt, April 15 1914 - At the adjourned inquest this evening into the mysterious death of Mrs. Charles F. Dempsey, a trained nurse, who died suddenly on Sunday night at the farm of Robert Jamieson, six miles from town, where she was engaged professionally, a verdict was returned stating the cause of death as "from an overdose of alcohol, taken as a heart stimulant."

The woman, according to the testimony of two local druggists, had sent to Galt for alcohol, ostensibly for her patient, but in reality to imbibe. At Dickson's store the messenger was refused, there being no doctor's order. But Columbia spirits, a purified wood alcohol, was given, and the bottle labeled "For external use only." At Meikleham's, however, a bottle of wood alcohol was secured, the label being merely "Alcohol," and the understanding being that it was only for external application. The circumstances that this latter distillation was drunk by the nurse, accounted for her sudden death, as the post-mortem disclosed.

Mrs. Dempsey had been living in town two years and pursuing her calling as a nurse. She was a middle-aged woman with two children. The husband has been employed in the states. She was well known.
