Died Suddenly

Mr. Hirman [sic] Beemer died suddenly while returning home from downtown on Tuesday afternoon. When in front of Mr. Bert Gray's house he suddenly fell over and expired before any person reached him.

Mr. Beemer has been sick with Bright's disease for some time and the quick summons was not unlooked for by his relatives.

Mr. Beemer was born on the farm north of Waterford in 1838 and lived there all his life. 
In Sept. 1910 Mr. Beemer's wife died and some months ago he moved to town and has lived with Mrs. Wm. Brewer.

He was a Baptist and a Liberal and a man who had many friends throughout this section.

A brother, Mr. Wm. Beemer and two sisters, Mrs. Fred Robinson of Waterford, and 
Mrs. Martha Woodley of Michigan are left to mourn their loss.

The funeral will be held from the residence of Mr. Wm. Brewer this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
