Fraser was made aware of some trouble in his throat, which gradually developed until it became so serious that he consulted a physician, who diagnosed the affection as goitre, and advised prompt special treatment. About two weeks ago he went to Ottawa, and an examination by Dr Webster confirmed the diagnosis of the local physician. An operation was imperative but Mr Fraser was in so weak a condition that he could not bear the strain, and an effort was made to prepare him for it, and on Monday the operation was performed successfully, but the shock to his system was do great that before he had recovered from the effects of the anesthetic his heart failed and he passed away. Mr Fraser was born in Dundee, Scotland, and came to Canada about twenty-five years ago, coming to Almonte, where he has had his home ever since, with the exception of a short time in Cobalt a few years ago. He was married about ten years ago to Miss Cassie Pettigrew, who with three small children, two boys and a girl, is left to mourn so great a loss. He was a member of Alpha Lodge, I.O.O.F., the Loyal Orange Lodge, and the Chosen friends, in the latter of which he had a life insurance policy for $2,000 Mrs J.A. McIntosh of Almonte, Mrs Baxter on Montreal, Mrs Frank Reid of Beverly, Mass., and Mrs Fairweather of Brooklyn N.Y., are sisters of deceased, and Messrs Wm Fraser of Pakenham and Thos Fraser of the Soo are brothers. Another sister is still living in Scotland. The remains were brought up from Ottawa on Monday evening and the funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, from his home on Princess street to the eighth line cemetery. It was under the auspices of Alpha Lodge, I.O.O.F., and the unusually large number who attended gave evidence of the depth of sympathy that has been aroused by the sad occurrence.
