  	"Found Drowned. Last Sunday [17 Feb 1884] the body of a man was found in the flume back of the woolen-factory, Haggart's Island, and judging from appearances it had been under the water for some weeks. It was soon pretty well identified as being all that remained earthly of Patrick Flaherty, a well-known character; and this supposition was the next day confirmed by members of his own family. The deceased had been missing for nearly two months, but as he was latterly a sort of wanderer upon the earth, his absence caused no comment or alarm, and no one supposed that poor Pat had met with the sad and premature end that had over taken him. It is surmised that while in a state of inebriety Pat stumbled in the flume, where sure death awaited him. His remains were buried on the farm he formerly occupied in North Burgess [Lot A, VIII Concession], on Tuesday. He was about fifty-five years of age at death."
