• Notes

  Obituary: The many friends of Adam Switzer were surprised last week when they heard of his sudden demise, on Thursday evening. Although he had not been in the best of health the past three months, yet he was always about, and was not compelled to go to bed until about six hours before his death. The cause of death was a general breaking up of the system, which was brought to a climax by a severe attack of dropsy. If Mr. Switzer had lived until October 19th, he would have been 77 years of age. He was always a staunch supporter of Conservative government, and in religion was a faithful member of the Methodist church. He came to Alberta from St. Marys, Ont., about a year ago, and intended returning as soon as his sons became nicely settled here. He was married in Ontario forty-seven years ago, and leaves a widow, five sons and three daughters to mourn his sudden demise. The sons are: John H., who is storekeeping at Russell, Man.; Allen, who is farming at Russell, Man.; Robert, who is working in a creamery at Paisley, Ont., and Reuben and Ernest, who are farming here. The daughters are Mrs. Doupe, Kirkton, Ont.; Mrs. Amos Doupe, of here, and Salome, who is at home. A heavy downpour of rain prevented a large number of friends from attending the funeral, which took place on Saturday afternoon to the Wetaskiwin cemetery. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved family. Wetaskiwin Times, August 2, 1901
