A Fine Young Man's Death
After about a year's illness with the trouble known as "pernicious anaemina" Mr John Neilson Hamilton (son of Mr. Gavin Hamilton, reeve of Ramsay) passed peacefully away last Friday afternoon, at the early age of 38 years. The insidious disease of which the deceased died seemed at times to relax its hold upon his system, and during these intervals his friends fondly hoped for his ultimate recovery; but it was a hope which in almost all such cases is doomed to disappointment. The late Mr. Hamilton was of a quiet and retiring disposition, but had endeared himself to all who knew him intimately. Although it was a source of great grief to his friends, death to the deceased was a happy release from human pain and suffering. He leaves a loving wife and two little girls, besides his aged parents, two sisters and two brothers, to all of whom we join sympathizing friends in tendering our sympathy. The funeral on Sunday was an unusually large one, evidencing the high esteem in which both the deceased and his family are held. The funeral services were conducted by Rev A.S. Grant B.D., the deceased's pastor.
