Death of
Mr. E. Bothwell
The funeral of the late
Edward Bothwell took place on Tuesday to Oakwood Cemetery from the
Air Line depot on the arrival of the train from Hamilton. Mr.
Bothwell died in the City Hospital in Hamilton on Sunday. He was
in his 63rd year and had been ill since early in June.
Mr. Bothwell was
well-known in the southern part of Townsend, where he was born,
and where he lived until a few years ago, engaged in farming.
Having acquired a
competency he removed to Simcoe with his a sister who always kept
house for him, he having never married. In Simcoe they lived up to
two years ago, when Miss Bothwell died. Mr. Bothwell then went to
live in Hamilton, with Dr. and Mrs. Jones, the latter being his
niece.
About the last of May the
three started on a trip to the Pacific Coast, but while visiting
friends in Saskatchewan, Mr. Bothwell was taken ill and the party
was obliged to return home. From his illness he never recovered,
dying as before stated on Sunday.
