VERY SUDDEN DEATH

Mr. George Ronson of Middleton Falls Dead
At The Township Sunday School Association,
Shortly After Being Elected President

A sudden death occurred on Monday night at a meeting in Goshen church, in Middleton. 

The township Sunday School Association was holding its annual convention and Mr. George Ronson of Courtland, who had been elected president, had been introduced at the evening session. 

The first address had been delivered, and as the choir was rendering an anthem Mr. Ronson fell to the floor. He was carried out and the announcement was made that he had fainted. 

A physician was hastily brought from Tillsonburg who said he had died instantly of heart disease. 

The convention was immediately brought to a close. 

Mr. Ronson was a prosperous farmer of about 45 years of age. He leaves a wife and four children. There survive only two of his own family of eleven brothers and sisters.
