TOM KIDD DEAD
On Friday afternoon all that was mortal of Thomas Kidd was laid to rest in St. John's cemetery, 7th Line, Mono. Tom Kidd was a well-known man in these parts for many years. He was a son of the late John Kidd, the old man who married Gertie Robbins over a decade ago. Tom Kidd was a very eccentric character and a couple of years ago he was adjudged insane and was sent to the Mimico asylum. While there he was a quiet patient. He imagined he was the owner of the asylum and all the other big buildings in sight and took great delight in showing visitors about his property. An only daughter died a few years ago.
