    Died:
    While they were camped at Lachine, en route for Lanark, the father, James Dick, was drowned. A letter has survived which was written young John Dick to his uncle, John Dick, a merchant of Bathgate, Scotland.
    Dear Uncle:
    I have the painful task to perform of informing you of the death of our dear father and that our mother and us are all proceeding forward to Upper Canada. My father, next day after we arrived at Lachine, went into the St. Lawrence o bath himself and going into the river at a part where there was a shelf in the shore, not knowing the nature of the river, went over it t once and sank and no one could save him. A farmer, looking to his cattle some distance from the spot, alone was a witness to the fatal accident, but by the time he came forward he was drowned. The accident happened on the 29th of June at half-past eleven o'clock forenoon.
    Our mother as well as the whole family was in a terrible state at first, in that state which is easier felt than described, but now she seems more resigned to the will of God and the disposition of His Providence. All are reconciled to go to our destination, all believing that our kind father not only risked his life but lost it in the view of putting the family in a better situation than he could place them and leave them in Bathgate. And now he is gone to the place appointed for all living, before seeing this end accomplished, we think it is our duty to do our utmost exertion to bring into effect what he so ardently wished."
