Mr. John's laud. 1837. and 3 Egbert Eobeetson, rrain mercliant, of Priceville, who died at Flesherton and Priceville Station, Toronto, Grej and Bruce Railway, early on the morning of Thursday, the 8th of May. 1884. Mr. Robert Robertson, grain merch- ant, left his residence in Priceyille, about 3:45 a. m. Thursiay, the 8th of May, 1884, to attend to his work at Flesherton and Priceville Station. He drove out to the station (a distance of three miles), and intended to return home about 7 o'clock the same morn ing. When he arrived at the grainery he worked hard for oome time remov- ing some oats which were heating in â- the bin. It appears that he then came ©at to take a drink from a well near by, and stooping down was struck by apoplexy. He was found with the bead and arms in the water, and his breast resting on the board at the top of the well. The water was within H inches from the upper edge of the board. The body was extended on the ground, but there was no evidence of any struggle or motion after he fell. He was found by Mr. Whi*^aker about 6:50 a. m. Dr. Christoe, from Flesli- erton, was sent for immediately. Meanwhile every effort was being made to resuscitate che body but when ths Dr. came be pronounced that the man had keen dead about an hour. Mr. -Hemphill brought the word to Price- ville. A large number of men went out to the station, some to attend to the grain, and others to bring the re- mains home. The sad event has cast a deep gloom over the neighborhood. Mr. Robert- son was widely known and highly re spected. As a member of the com- munity he took a deep interest in every thing that tended to the welfare and progress of the place. He was a true type of a faithful, honest, firm, straight- forward, energetic Scotch- man. Robertson was a native of Haven, Kincardineshire. Scot- He was born February 7th. His age was therefore 47 years months. He leayes a widi w and five young children, who have ine heart-felt sympathy of a large circle of acquaintances. The funeral took place on Saturday. Religious services were conducted by Rev. D. McLeod, commencing about 2:30 p. m., after which the remaina were removed to the hearse and the mournful procession formed, and slowly advanced to the cemetery at the Pres- byterian church. x\lthough this is .tlie busiest season of the year, a very large number of people assembled. The following gentlemen took the place of chief mourners, and also acted as pall bearers â€" Henry Meldrum, iiisq., Rey. D. McLeod, and Mr. Thos. AVhitmore, and Messrs. D. McLean, "\Vm. Wright, A. McLean and James McDonald, elders of the congregation of which Mr. Robertson was a mem- ber. The Flesherton Lodge ol the A. 0. U, W., to which Mr. E. belonged, re- moved the remains from the hearse, and deposited them in their last rest- ing place, Messrs. Macmaster and Damude conducting the funeral service of the society. At the request of Mrs. Robertson, H. Meldrum, Esq., late station master at Flesherton station, has taken the charge of Mr. Robertson's business until it is wound up. From the well- known integrity and business capacity of Mr, Meldrum, and from the satis- factory condition in which Mr. Robert- son left his affairs, we are well assured that every obhgation will be duly met and the business closed iu a manner satisfactory to all parties interested.
