    DIED SUDDENLY

    Well Known Resident of Harvey Passed Away at McAdam

    Our Harvey Station correspondent writing Wednesday, says:

    The residents of this place were much shocked yesterday morning when they learned that William Grieve had died suddenly at McAdam the night before.   He had been working there as a carpenter most of the winter and had almost finished up for the season.   He had not been feeling well for some days.   On Monday morning he was seized with internal cramps and suffered very severely and seemed to be better in the afternoon, but in the evening he became much worse and his wife was sent for and he died shortly after she reached his bedside.

    The remains were brought home at noon yesterday, and the funeral will take place this afternoon.   He was about 50 years of age and leaves a widow (the daughter of Mr William Pass of Acton), three sons and two daughters; t wo sons and one daughter are nearly grown up.   He also leaves an aged mother, five brothers and one sister.   His brothers are John H., Thomas P. and Robert, who reside here, and George and Joseph who reside in British Columbia, Mrs Thomas Wilson of the Rear Settlement is his sister.

    Mr Grieve was one of the leading farmers here, and only a short time ago purchased the Pass farm which lies along side his own.   He took an active interest in public affairs, and was for some time a school trustee and secretary treasurer to the board of trustees.   He was highly respected and had many warm friends, and his sudden and untimely death has cast a deep gloom over the community and many expressions of sorrow and sympathy are heard for the bereaved family.

    He married Anne "Annie" Pass, daughter of William Pass & Charlotte Cockburn (Coburn), 15 Nov 1882 in St. Paul's Church, Fredericton By Rev. A. J. Mowatt. Born 13 May 1861 in Harvey (Acton). Christen 9 Sep 1861 in St. Paul's Church Records (Fredericton). Died 12 Aug 1942 in Harvey. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery.

    Witnesses to marriage were Patrick Grieve and Ellen Coburn.

    Annie's sister, Hattie, married her husband's brother, George.
