"Death, has again entered a happy home and claimed as its victim the stay and support of that household.
Just as the last hour of midnight was being ushered in on Saturday night death rang its remoreseless toll and summoned a soul to regions of immortality.
The decreased, known as James L. Biaggar, of the lake shore east, was born three miles north of Palermo, in the new survey. Mr. Biggar was seized with a paralytic stroke on Monday and lingered until 11 o'clock Saturday night. He was unable to speak from that time until his death, and suffered much during his illness. He was a wagon-maker by trade, but followed agricultural pursuits most of his life. He belonged to the English Church, was a staunch Conservative and was of U.E.L. descent. Mr. Biggar moved from his place of birth, in the new survey, to the lake shore east about fifteen years ago where he resided until the time of his death. He was temperate in all his habits, honest, industrious, a good neighbor and was always well spoken of. He was in his 73rd year.
The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon to St. Jude's cemetery, a large number of friends and relatives attending.
The following members of the family mourn his loss: Mrs. Biggar; E.R. Biggar, Milton; A.A. Biggar, Niagara Falls, N.Y.; Mrs. H. Lewis, Lambton Mills; Mrs. H. Carpenter, Dundas St.; Miss Helen Biggar and Miss Ena Biggar, lake shore east. Miss Katurah Biggar, the youngest of the family, died a few years ago."
