MR.
SAMUEL BOUGHNER
On
Wednesday afternoon of last week a gloom was cast over Delhi, when it
was learned that Mr. Samuel Boughner dropped dead at his home in the
Stoddard House, where he has been proprietor for the past two years.
Mr.
Boughner had been enjoying a game at quoits at the side of the house,
and after the finish of the first game Lawyer Jones, whom he was
pitching with, asked him if he wished to play another game, and he
said "I am too tired," and on entering the house, spoke a
few words to his bartender, Thomas Lorimer, and passed through to his
private apartment, when, without a moment's notice, he succumbed to an
attack of the heart.
Mrs.
Boughner was in the room at the time lying down, as she was not well,
and immediately screamed to the girls upstairs that her husband was
very sick. The girls came at once and saw that he had passed away.
Mr.
Boughner was in his 58th year. He leaves to mourn his sudden demise, a
wife, one daughter, Gladys, and one brother, Louis, of Langton.
The
family have the deepest sympathy of the community.
The
interment took place in the Langton cemetery on Sunday afternoon.
