Notes:

Died:
The death of Mr. Robert Alcorn at Wilbur on Sunday morning last was a very sudden and peaceful one, and the news came as a shock to his friends here, whom he had visited less than a week previous. Mr. Alcorn was apparently in the best of health when he retired to rest on Saturday night after his usual day's work, and it was not util his wife had prepared the morning meal on Sunday, and returned to awaken him that he was found cold in death.

Deceased was well known in and around Lanark, having been born seveny-five years ago on the farm now owned by Mr. Peter Barr on the first concession of Lanark township, about two miles from this place. After his marriage to Margaret Boyd he purchased a farm adjoining the homestead - that on which Mr. Wm. Storie now resides - and there he remained for some years. About twenty years ago, when the K. & P. railway was in course of construction, he moved to Lavant Station, embarked in the hotel business, and continued to cater to the wants of the travelling public for a dozen or more years, removing to Wilbur some four or five years ago.

The family consisted of three sons and one daughter, all of whom are living - John, at Braeside; William and Ross, at home; and Mrs. R. Moore, in Michigan. Three of the deceased's sisters and one brother survive - Mrs. John Wright and Mrs. Wm. Campbell, Lanark; Mrs. J. Gallinger, McDonald's Corners; and John, in Australia.

The funeral took place yesterday to Lanark Village Cemetery, the services being conducted by Mr. J.S. Caldwell, student-missionary.
