A well known employee of the Town of Grimsby, James Scott, town teamster, suffered a sudden seizure on Wednesday morning and passed away before medical aid could reach him.
Deceased, along with Mike Sweet, was engaged in cutting down a tree on Murray Street when shortly before 11 o'clock he complained of not feeling well but after resting for a few minutes started work again. Shortly after 11 o'clock he decided to leave the job and return to the town work shop. In company with Sweet he was walking down the street and when in front of Henley's service station he suddenly collapsed and passed away.
