  	1913, Friday October 10, The Almonte Gazette front page ?b?Mr Jas. Brunton Drowned?/b? A sad drowning accident occurred on Saturday about mid-day, by which Mr Jas Brunton lost his life. He was out on the river in a boat fishing and has anchored on the opposite side from his home. When last seen alive he was leaning forward in the boat, and a little later he had disappeared. An alarm was given by a couple of men who were walking up the shore, and the body was found near the boat, in about six feet of water. Mr Brunton was subject to weak spells, and it is supposed that he had been overtaken by one of these, and fell from the boat. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon to the eighth line cemetery, and was attended by a large number of sympathetic friends. The late Mr Brunton who was 66 years of age, was born in Scotland, but had been living in Canada for a number of years, a majority of which were spent in Almonte, where he worked as a stone mason, until failing health compelled his retirement. He was married some years ago to Miss Marion Aikenhead, and they lived in their comfortable home on the river bank. There was no family, but Mrs Brunton is left to mourn the sad death of her husband, and in her loneliness she has the sympathy of many friends
