SUDDEN DEATH OF W.N. NIVEN
Rosemont Resident Passed Away Yesterday Afternoon
DUE TO HEART FAILURE
Deceased Was a Well Known Farmer of Norfolk County -- Born in Scotland and 
Educated as a Physician -- Member of Berkley Presbyterian Church -- Leaves a 
Wife and Three Children

Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock Mr. William N. Niven, of Rosemont, died very 
suddenly.  He had been complaining for some time but was thought to be much 
better, until just before his death, which was due, it is thought, to heart 
failure.
Mr. Niven was reared in Scotland and graduated at Edinburgh University, where he 
studied in the school of medicine.  He came to this country soon after he left 
school, but never engaged in the practice of his profession.  When he settled in 
this country he engaged in farming, which he followed until the time of his 
death.
 The deceased was held in the highest esteem by those who knew him, and was a 
man of sterling qualities  He was a member of Armstrong Memorial Presbyterian 
Church of this place.
He was 57 years of age and is survived by his wife, who was a Miss Chapin, of 
New York State, two daughters, Misses Iona and Helen Niven, and one son, Mr. W. 
Glentworth Niven.  The funeral arrangements will be announced later in these 
columns.

will conduct the services.  The interment will be made in Magnolia Cemetery.
