  	Death of Mr. David Mather. Another gap has been made in the fast diminishing ranks of the old Middleville settlers. David Mather, aged 78 years, passed away to his long home Friday afternoon. He had not been well for years, and throughout the last three or four months had suffered almost continuously from a bad form of stomach trouble. Mr. David Mather was born on tha homestead at Middleville, but having a turn for carpentry followed that calling in his younger days. Two brothers, Robert and Matthew, of Bancroft, and one sister, Mrs. Wm. Somerville, are survivors of one of the best known and most respected families of the district. Mr. Mather married Isabella Gillies and two of a family George and Ida are left to mourn a devoted father. Deceased was a staunch supporter of the Reform party. In church matters he was Congregationalist. The funeral took place on Sunday at one o'clock to Middleville Congregational church and thence to cemetery.
