LANGTON -- Among the
sad events which have cast a gloom over our usually cheerful village, is
the death of Zillah Hellyer, who fell a victim to Typhoid Fever on the 5th
of the present month
She was in her
fifteenth year, and of a very lively and genial disposition. Her early
death gives point and force to what was said by some pagan ages ago,
"Those whom the gods love die young," and "The King of
terrors loves a shining mark."
She was born in
Colborne, in Windham, but had resided with her parents near Langton for
several years. Her father, Thos. C. Hellyer, was widely known throughout
the County of Norfolk, where he for many years practised as a Veterinary
Surgeon.
Zillah had been
attending the Brantford School during past year, and her teachers and
classmates will read with pain this notice of premature death. Her illness
lasted about three weeks.
She was buried in
Wilson's graveyard near Lynedoch. Her remains were followed to the grave
by many sorrowing friends among whom her grief stricken mother, brothers
and sisters were the chief mourners.
