  	"DIED. Elliott. In North Burgess, on the 13th Sept., Archibald Elliott, aged 71 years." [Col. 2, Pg. 5; The Perth Courier; Friday, 16 Sep 1898; Vol. LXV, No. 3" Mr. Archibald Elliott. The townspeople were shocked on Tuesday forenoon upon learning that one of our respected citizens, Mr. Archibald Elliott, had died suddenly that morning. Mr. Elliott, though up in years, still followed occasionally his old occupation of cattle drover, and on Monday had, with his assistants, collected a lot of cattle at the farm of his son Robert, Ninth Line. His exertions made him somewhat sick and faint, through weakness of the heart, which had troubled him for some time; but he rose from his bed next morning quite well again. That morning he exerted himself somewhat in overlooking the herding the cattle when suddenly he complained of a dreadful pain in his side, and all at once fell to the ground a dead man. The cause of his death was heart failure. This was about ten o'clock in the morning. His brother Robert was driven out as soon as possible, and during the afternoon his body was brought to his late residence on Victoria street. Deceased was seventy-one years of age. He was born on the 9th line of Burgess, on the farm on which he died, and which was drawn by his father from the Government in the early settlement. The family came from the North of Ireland. Mr. Elliott was a prominent Conservative. He was married to Miss McLean, whose death last winter proved a great affliction to him. A few years ago the family came to town to live, and by that time Mr. Elliott had withdrawn pretty much from his active business life. He leaves two sons and two daughters: Robert, on the homestead farm; Chas. W., in Montreal; Mrs. Orr (Jennie), in Manitoba; and Edith, at home. The funeral took place yesterday. Rev. Mr. Hughes, pastor of Asbury church, conducting the services." [Col. 3, Pg. 4; The Perth Courier; Friday, 16 Sep 1898; Vol. LXV, No. 3]
