The deceased, who enjoyed his usual good health up to last Friday night, sat up for a few minutes reading after the rest of the family had retired, and had scarcely done so when the attention of his faithful wife was attracted by a peculiar rattling in his throat as if he was choking, but she was unable to arouse him. Dr. Gibson was hastily called and pronounced him suffering from a paralytic stroke, and held out no hope of his recovery. The late Mr. Kidd was born in the township of Beckwith, County of Lanark, in April 1834, and was consequently in his 72nd year. He came to Brooke in the year 1866 and purchased Lot 9, in the 12 Con in 1868. In 1872 he married Hannah Lucas, daughter of the late John Lucas, one of the first settlers of the township and settled on his farm where he has since resided. His well directed efforts and industry met the reward that comes to such and he established a good home and a prosperous farm. The deceased is survived by his widow and a family of8 children. Mrs. Styles of Brooke, George of Manitoba, Thomas of the G.T.R. Sarnia, John, Edward and Frederick, and Missess Ellen and Anna at home. One brother Thomas of Smith Falls, sister Mrs. David Gilliland of Brooke and 3 other sisters in the Ottawa valley, also survive. In those early times the young men of Ontario did not make their start in life under such favorable auspices as now, and the subject of our sketch had little of the world's goods to assist him on the way. He had, however, what is far more valuable, namely, a rugged constitution and a stout physique, together with the good example of worthy parents, who did not fail to impress in him the principles of integrity, intelligence and industry. For many years he was engaged in the lumber woods, mostly with the late Mr. McLaren, of Rivers and Streams Bill fame, who always regarded him as a trusted and faithful employee. Mr. Kidd always weighed carefully any subject requiring his consideration, and after having arrived at his conclusions he was not easily dissuaded therefrom. He was loyal to his friends and faithful to any trust reposed in him. For many years he was See-Treasurer of the school board, and so dilligently did he perform his duties that his fellow trustees were content to leave matters wholly in his hands. About 3 years ago he retired, owing to advancing years and it is a matter of note that things have not gone so smoothly in the section since. In religion the deceased was an adherent of the English Church, and in politics a Conservative, though never a blind partizan. The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon at 1 p.m. to St. James Cemetery.
