Was Highly Respected The death of Mr. John Conn, which we briefly stated in last weeks' issue cast a gloom over the Feversham dis- trict, where he had resided for so many years and where he was regard- ed in the highest respect by all whc knew him. For the past year or so the late Mr. Conn had been suffering from injur- ies to his head received in an accident and has had to be constantly watched since that time. He had risen on Wednesday morning at about day- break and was last seen by Mrs. W. J. Conn sitting on the side of the bed fully dressed, as she was going to see one of the children. She informed Her husband who immediately rose and dressed and went outside to lo- cate his uncle. He first went to the barn and called, but received no response and decided that he was feeding the chickens and went to the henhouse, but failed to find him. He then returned to the barn and aftei a short search found his uncle hang- ing in a part of the shed, built to the barn. It was twenty minutes from the time Mr. W. J. Conn arose until has uncle was found, and it is pre- sumed that the act was premeditated and arrangements had been made be- forehand. Dr. Martin, coroner, was notified, but dec.'ded that an inques; was unnecessary. The death of Mr. Conn was a great shock to the family and his many- friends who have the entire sympathy o* the whole community in their sorrow. The late Mr. Conn was a man of sterling qualities, was 72 years of *age and has resided m Os- prey townhip practically all his life. He enjoyed the respect and confi- dence of a large c; -cle of friends, one friend saying to us that day that "yoi' couldn't find a better fellow."
