daughter, Mrs. Wm. Towner, in that township some time between Thursday night 
and Friday morning, he having been found dead in his bed Friday morning after 
having retired Thursday night in his usual health, but which has not been of 
the best for several years.

He was a little over 80 years of age and for many years had been sadly 
afflicted with a nervous trouble amounting almost to Saint Vitus dance.  The 
immediate cause of his death is pronounced by Dr. Smith, who attended him, to 
be heart failure.

to Danby and took up from the government what is now known as the Bah place in 
Danby.  He was twice married but neither of his wives survive him and Mrs. 
Towner, with whom he has lived several years, being his only child.

The funeral services over his remains were conducted from the…(illegible)…
Section school house on Sunday afternoon, Rev. Bray officiating.
