  	"Sudden Death. On Tuesday last, Mr. Philip McGowan, Scotch Line, Bathurst, was driven by his son Daniel to a neighbor's, Mr. Thomas McKinley, for a visit, the old man being in apparent excellent health. They took an early afternoon meal, and Mr. McGowan ate heartily. In the course of the meal, Mrs. McKinely asked him some question, and while answering it, Mr. McGowan's head dropped forward, and death came to him there and then. Heart weakening resulting from extreme old age was the cause. Deceased was a native of County Tyrone, Ireland, born in 1804, and came to Canada when seventeen years of age, first living in South Sherbrooke. Many years after he bought the Consitt farm, on the Tay River, Bathurst, and after that purchased his present farm, Scotch Line, Bathurst, two miles from Perth. He marries Miss Mary Buchanan, daughter of Sergeant Buchanan, who with a number of children survive him. He lived to the green old age of eighty-eight years, leaving behind him the esteem and respect of his friends and neighbors. He was a Roman Catholic in religion, and in politics an unfailing Liberal." [Col. 1, Pg. 5; The Perth Courier; Friday, 18 Mar 1892; Vol. LVIII, No. 28] Interred March 17th [St. John's Register]
