BLAKENEY NEWS
– The residents of this community were shocked on Tuesday evening, when the news was spread that Mr David McGill had suddenly passed away. Although not feeling his best for a few days, deceased was working around home as usual on Monday, when he was suddenly seized during the afternoon with a severe attack of acute indigestion. Medical aid was quickly summoned, but in spite of all care and skill he suffered severely until the end came on Tuesday night. The late Mr McGill, who was born in Pakenham township 64 years ago, was the fourth son of the late John McGill, and spent his lifetime in this vicinity with the exception of a short time he was in the United States. In 1882 he was married to Mrs Sarah Dunlop of Pakenham, who predeceased him about 23 years ago. This union was blessed by a family of one son, Harold, Near Tyvan, Sask, and one daughter, Miss Florence of Renfrew. Later he was married to Miss Margaret Lyttle of Fitzroy, who survives with a family of two daughters and one son – Misses Violet, Pearl and baby Lester. One sister, Mrs Peter Syme, and three brothers, John of Blakeney, Alex of Almonte, and Thos of Vancouver, B.C., also survive. all of whom have the deepest sympathy of a large circle of friends in their sad and sudden bereavement. The funeral took place this Thursday afternoon from his late residence in Blakeney to the eighth line cemetery, Rev Wm Merrilees conducting the service at the home and cemetery.
