death
by drowning
It is our sad and painful
duty to chronicle the death, by drowning, of Wm. Ross, about 10
miles above Port Midland, off the schooner Louise, of this place, on
Monday morning last.
The young man fell into the
lake from the topmast, while attempting to stow the main-gaff
topsail in a gale, and was never seen after.
The deceased worked in this
office for over two years. He was very much respected by all who
knew him, and the sad news cast a gloom over the village.
The bereaved parents have
the heartfelt sympathy of all. -- Port Rowan Age.
