Died:
"Consitt. Death claimed on Monday one of the eldest residents of the Scotch Line in the person of Frederick Adolphus Consitt, Esq., at the age of 81 years. The homestead upon which he lived for many years, and now occupied by his son, Fred, was a grant from the English government to his grandfather, the late Capt. Thomas Consitt, Royal Navy, who served with Nelson. The deceased was a son of the late Francis Henry Consitt, and lived on the homestead practically all his life time. He was twice married, his first wife being a daughter of the late Philip McGowan. To this union was born Mrs. Patrick Lee of town, Mrs. Howe of Worcester, Mass., and Mrs. M. Tovey. His second wife was Miss White, and to them was born four sons and one daughter - Fred on the homestead, Dr. Consitt of town, Lieut. Thos. Consitt, overseas, and Miss Louise at home. Frank, another son, was killed in Montreal at the time of the Herald building collapsing. Of a family of two brothers and four sisters, Mrs. Geo. A. Consitt of town, is the only surviving member of this family. Mr. Adolphus Consitt was a Justice of the Peace and widely known in this district. His home was ever a hospitable one. It was at this house that in the year 1819 the Duke of Richmond, Governor-General of Canada, was entertained while on his way through Perth to Montreal; going there to see the late Capt. Consitt, and Capt. Alston of the Royal Navy; and it was on this journey that he died at Richmond of hydro phobia from the supposed bite of a tame fox. Mr. Consitt had bequeathed to him by relatives in England a large number of relics and valuables of a bygone age, and these included the sword of the father captain and an autograph letter of Lord Nelson, the maritime hero of Abonkir Bay and Trafalgar Bay battles. The funeral took place Thursday morning to St. John's church at 9:30, thence to St. John's R. C. cemetery for interment."
