McKAY DROPS DEAD The residents of Irma and district were shocked ot hear of the sudden death of one of their old-time and highly respected citizens last Saturday night. Mr. McKay was in town most of the afternoon Saturday and had appeared to be in better health than usual. He had tea with his daughter, Mrs. G.A. Tripp and some friends and went over to the station with the intention of going to Phillips to visit some friends and spend a few days. Just before the train arrived he went out on the platform and sat down on some cream cans. As the train approached, Mr. Wilberham went to load the cans and noticed that he appeared to be sleeping,but after trying to arouse him some of the men carried him into the waiting room and summoned Dr. McGregor who pronounced him dead. The body was taken to the residence of Mr. G.A. Tripp from where the funeral met at the house and followed the body to its last resting place at the Irma cemetery. The Rev. C.G. Hockin conducted services at the house and cemetery. The following acted as pall bearers, Messrs. J.W. Graydon, O. McMurray, N.B. Beattie, W.B. Peterson, Jas. McKnight, and H.W. Love. The casket was covered with flowers sent by friends of the deceased. Mrs. Alexander Geddes McKay was born Sept. 27th, 1843, at Nelson on the Merimichie River, N.B. Was married to Diana Bateman in 1873. Moved to Harcourt, N.B. in 1883 and was connected with the Millers Tanning Extract Co. for 26 years, coming to Irma in 1909 where he has since made his home ever since. Mr. McKay was a widower, his wife having preceded him to the great beyond 36 years ago, leaving a family of four: Mrs. G.A. Tripp and Mrs. R.S. Smallwood of Irma, Mrs. C.R. Thompson, of Everett, Mass., and Mr. J. Clifford McKay at Irma. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. M.J. Moore of Truikee, California, and Mrs. Malcolm Amos, of Derby, N.B., and two brothers, W. McKay of Winnipeg, and John McKay of Berlin, N.H. The Times joins in extending condolence to the sorrowing relatives.
