Death of George Limage

There was one sad affair to mar the pleasures of July 1st. As Mr. George Limage of Boston was on his way to the Fair grounds he was taken with a fainting spell and laid down on the grass near the residence of Mr. D. A. Marlatt on West street. 

Just how long he laid there is not known, but when found he was in an exhausted condition and only retained consciousness a few minutes. He died in less than half an hour in spite of all medical aid could do. 

Heart disease was the cause of death. It seems he has had one or two similar spells before.

His remains were taken to the undertaking establishment of Messrs. Pursel & Son and the next day conveyed to his late residence at Boston. 

A messenger was at once sent to deliver the sad news to his wife and family. Little do we know of the sorrow of an affectionate wife's heart when receiving the news of her beloved husband's sudden death.

The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon to Boston cemetery. Court Boston No. 47, C.O.F., attended in a body. A number of Foresters' from this place and Oakland were in attendance. The services were conducted in the church by Rev. S. G. Harris.  

The deceased was a highly esteemed member of Court Boston and was always a regular attendant. Services were held in the church after interment. The funeral was largely attended. The bereaved family have the sympathies of a large circle of friends.
