Trouble developed during June and the doctors found it necessary to amputate
the limb. The bone proved to be deceased and death finally ensued. It is currently
reported that the trouble was due to the action of some over zealous partisans
who prevailed upon the unfortunate man to leave the hospital and go home to
vote on election day, but we have not been able to confirm the report.

Dec.20,p.5: Ida
Florence (Heatherington) Watson: It is our sad duty this week to record
the death of one of the most popular ladies of this part of the country in the
person of Ida Florence Heatherington, beloved wife of Mr. Robert Watson, of
Adjala. She had been ill for a considerable time and spent the last three months
in Guelph Hospital and passed away there on Saturday. She came home a few days
ago, but was only able to remain four days and then had to return to the hospital.
It seems hard to see a happy, cheerful mother such as she was, cut off in her
prime, she being in her 36th years. Her pleasing manner made her a general favorite
and was an inspiration to all with whom she came in contact. In community affairs
and church work she took a leading part and the gap caused by her passing will
be hard to fill. To the husband and the two little girls the loss will be irreparable
and to the and the other members of the family we extend our sincere sympathy.
Deceased was born at Sheldon and thirteen years ago became the bride of Mr.
Watson and came to reside on their farm just south of Piper's Hill.
The funeral to Raney's Church on Monday was conducted by Rev. Mr. Davidson,
of Mono Mills, and was attended by a large number of friends and acquaintances
from far and near. - Tottenham Sentinel.
