The deceased was a native of Scotland, but emigrated in early life to Prince Edwards, from whence in 1840 he came to this place. In this death a widow and three young children have sustained and feel a loss, for which all the world besides can never be an equivalent. His brothers and sisters feel that a vacancy is made in their circle, that can never in time be filled. Among his neighbors and friends his memory will long be held in remembrance for his many virtues, and his kind, quiet, and friendly deportment.
