DURHAM ’ The grim reaper has been at work in this community. and we have this week to chronicle the death of one of Artemesia’s earliest settlers in the person of M1. James McNicholl, who passed away suddenly with heart failure, at his_ home on the west back line, on Friday last. Mr. Mc- Nicholl had been ailing for several months. but felt some better the pasr. week or two. On Friday forenoon he moved about the house a little and hOped to do so in the afternoon, but shortly after dinner he was seiz- ed with a pain about the heart and in a few minutes expired in the arms of his daughter. Dr. Carter, who had been waiting upon him. was summoned, but only to find that the vital Spark had fled. A largly at- tended funeral took place to the Public cemetery here on Monday afternoon, the burial service being conducted by the deceased’s pastor, Rev. J. Ward, of this place. Deceas- ed was born in Paisley, ScOtland, in January. in 1828, and was therefore nearing 73 years of age. In 1840 he came with his parents to Canada and for ten years lived in the city of Ot- tawa. In 1850 he came to Artemesia and settled on the 100 acre farm on which he has since lived and died. He was an industrious and prOSper- ous farmer, and a few years ago added another 100 acres to his already valuable property and comfortable home. In religion Mr. McNicholl was a Methodist. In the early days of this township he took a deep inter- est in the old Irwin church, on the Toronto line, where he served in the capacity of class-leader. For several years he has been an esteemed mem- ber of the Methodist church here, where his presence will be much, missed in the pew. In 1855 Mr ‘ McNicholl was united in marriage to Miss Lee, of Artemesia, who survives to mourn his departure. To them was born a family of ten children, ieight sons and two daughters, nine jof whom survive him, viz: Robert, Archibald and George, in Manitoba. John and William, in Michigan, Wes. ley and Albert, Isabella and Mary, at home, Daniel, 3. young man at home. died about five years ago. The fami- I); have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. The Millinery Openingsâ€"T. J. Sheppard’s, Mrs. W. Trimble’ s, and M. Richardson Co’s - have all taken place here with the usual pleasing degree of interest and suc- cess.
