Mr. Aaron Kay, of Otterville, died very suddenly last Friday afternoon. He had suffered for some years with a cancer, but on the day of his death he srose in apparently good health, ate a hearty breakfast, and performed his usual chores around the house. About moon he complained of shortness of breath.~ A physician was called and administered medicine. Mr. Kay fell asleop on the lounge and never awoke again, life taking its departure at 3 30. An Otterville despatch says: _ _ _ _ Mr. Kay was born in Berlin in 1839, and came to the township with his parents in 1854, settling> on the farm now owned by P. A. Dorland. _ His f1ither owned a saw mill on the : farm where he assisted in the work for quite a number of years. Since then he has worked at carpenter work up to the :‘lmo of his death. In 1857 he married ane Johnson, who survives him. One sister is living in Berlin, the oldest of the family. He leaves one brother, M. F. Kay, who lives here and was for many yeats a thriving merchant. Two sons, Geo., of Sheddan, James, of Essex, and three daughters, Ella, living here; Ids, of Lansing, and Vira, of Buffalo, are left to mourn the loss. The funeral touk place on Monday and was largely attended. The bazaar arrauged by the Ladie# Aid of St Apdrews‘ church is uver and is voted an unqualified success in atâ€" tendance and financially. Owing to the inclemency of the weather on Fuiâ€" day evening the attendance was not as large as the previous evening, but those who were present kept the pretty waitresses in the various booths quite busy and a‘most all the fancy wares and goods, candies etc., were disposod of. At intervals during the evening vocal and instrumental musi> was renâ€" dered voluntarily by young people and was greatly appreciated, â€" _ The different national booths in their characteristic colors and decâ€" orations presented a very pleasing and beautiful appearance, «nd were presided over by courteous and handsomely attired yonn‘g,ladiu.
