MORRIS
     SUDDEN DEATH.
     Mr. James Heard, an old and respected resident of the Township of Morris, died suddenly at his residence on' the Sixth Concession, on Saturday morning, the 24th ult. For some time past he had been in the enjoyment of good health, but nothing serious was apprehended. In fact he was in Brussels on business on the previous Thursday. On, (sic) the morning of his death, says the Post, he arose early, dressed himself and sat for a while in the kitchen. When his wife arose about half an hour after, he complained of feeling unwell, and said he would lie down for a while to get a little ease. Immediately on taking his bed he gradually commenced to fail, and breathed his last about 6.30 A. M. Deceased was about 56 years of age, and a native of Dumfries-shire, Scotland. In early life he had been a farm servant, but for a number of years before leaving his mother knuland be bad been employed as policeman on the Caledonian Railway, running north from Carlisle. He emigrated to Canada about the year 1854, and resided for a few years near Galt, being part of the time in the employ of the Grand Trunk Railway. Some 16 years ago he removed into the township of Morris, then a comparatively wild and unsettled place, and by industry and perseverance succeeded in getting a comfortable home and competence for his declining years. He was a willing neighbor and upright man, and his bereaved wife and daughters have the heartfelt sympathy of all who knew him.4,6
