  	1913, Friday November 14, The Almonte Gazette front page ?b?Mr Robert Watchorn Dies Suddenly?/b? There was a sad ending to Mr Robert Watchorn's visit to his mother at the old homestead on the Bellamy Road in Pakenham township. He had been working in Ottawa, but came home, and when on a visit to his mother a couple of weeks ago he was taken seriously ill with appendicitis. Dr Webster of Ottawa was called in and on Thursday of last week performed an operation that was successful in removing the trouble and Mr Watchorn was apparently progressing so favourably that both the doctor and the nurse were looking for a early recovery. But there was a sudden weakening of the heart, and though restoratives were immediately applied he was soon beyond all human help and in a few minutes had passed away. The deceased, who was in his 52nd year, was born at the home where he died. In young manhood he was married to Elizabeth Miller, a daughter of the late John Miller, and to them four daughters were born, and the death of the father is the first break in the family circle thus formed. The girls are Lena May, Roberta Irene, Gertrude Elizabeth (Mrs Ryerson Miller of Almonte), and Pearl Susan (Mrs H.H. Blair of Toronto) Besides his wife and daughters of deceased, his mother, two brothers and eight sisters are also left to mourn. Thomas is on the homestead; Mrs Martin Jones is a near neighbour; William, Mrs John Hamilton and Mrs John Allison are at Waba; Mrs H. Stanley at Cedar Hill; Mrs Parker at White Lake; Mrs John Howard at Smiths Falls; Mr I. Willoughby and Miss Letitia at Winnipeg. The funeral took place this Thursday afternoon at 1.30 p.m. from his late residence, Euphemia St., to the Eighth Line Cemetery, attended by many friends desirous of thus showing in a practical way their sympathy for the bereaved ones in the sorrow that has come to them.
