Death's Harvest Sudden Death of James Carnahan, Sr., James Hopps, and David Grier. Scarcely had the excitement, caused by the startling announcement of the death of Archibald Elliott, subsided, when news reached us in rapid succession of the death of our life-long old friend, James Carnahan, Sr., of Thornbury, of our friend and townsman James Hopps, and of our young friend, David Grier, of Priceville. Swiftly has the angel of death passed over this section of our county - warning all of the near approach to the eternal world, ushering many "through the valley and the shadow of death," from whose bourne no traveler e'er returns." James Carnahan, Sr. The manly form and genial countenance of the subject of this sketch has been familiar to the Editor of THE ADVANCE since his earliest recollection. He was one of the grand and sturdy old pioneers of the county of Grey, who will be held in grateful remembrance by the first settlers of the Township of Euphrasia, and the memory of whom will ever be fondly cherished by their children, James Carnahan, sr., was an honest man, a good neighbor, a true friend, a loyal citizen and an unostentatious but zealous Christian gentleman. And, although the material body is no more, he leaves behind him in this world that which is more desirable than great riches - a good name. Sunday morning, the 16th inst., he appeared to be in his usual good health. He was out in his barnyard, giving some instructions to one of his sons, when he suddenly fell and almost instantly expired. Thus, at a good old age - seldom reached by a majority of the human family - James Carnahan passed suddenly into the kingdom of Heaven. He leaves behind him a wife and large family to mourn his loss. James Hopps Deceased was a resident of our town, and although he labored under the most adverse circumstances, we believe he tried to live as a good Christian should. He overheated himself while doing some work for the Editor of this journal, and then walked some distance out into the country in the teeth of a piercingly cold wind. He became thoroughly chilled, went into the house of his brother-in-law, Mr. Holley, and after some time was obliged to go to bed. Inflammation of the lungs, accompanied by a high fever, set in an notwithstanding all the efforts of his physician, Dr. Christoe, he only lingered a few days. On Thursday, 20th inst., shortly after dinner, he breathed his last. He was unconscious for many hours before his death. On Sunday last, his remains were followed to the Flesherton Cemetery by a very large concourse of citizens and others. Deceased having been an Orangeman was buried by the brotherhood, a goodly number of whom were present in full regalia. The casket was borne on the shoulders of four members of the lodge of which deceased had been a member. Rev. W. Ayers officiated at the late residence of deceased and also during the preliminary ceremony at the grave. Flesherton Band preceded the cortege, and played some very beautiful and solemn airs. In the evening the Methodist church here was crowded with people - the Orangemen occupying front seats in full regalia - when Rev. Mr. Ayers preached a practical and interesting funeral sermon from the words "Prepare to meet thy God." Deceased leaves a wife and family who should receive the substantial sympathy of the community in this dark hour of their affliction. David Grier The subject of this notice was suddenly stricken down by an unusually severe attack of bilious fever. He lived only a few days after the first attack. Deceased was the eldest son of the late N. B. Grier, Esq., merchant of Priceville, and possessed many sterling qualities of mind and heart. He was one of the most popular young men in the community and will be much missed by a large number of friends and acquaintances. His remains were conveyed to Mount Forest on Sunday and laid to rest beside those of his father. Had it not been for the terrible condition of the roads, quite a number of members of the Sons of Temperance Division in this town would have attended in order to pay the last tribute of respect to their late worthy brother. Other Deaths We learn that there are two very sudden deaths in the neighborhood of Markdale, but have not been able to glean particulars. X I \9 \ .•j^tt'i tU ,â- -<» mt% iW^i j WKiV FLESHER ADVANCE.
