Everyone in Woodstock was shocked when it became known that George SEYMOUR had been found dead in his bed. He had been working all Saturday at his business as barber and did not leave the shop until midnight. Mr. Seymour boarded at Geo. W. HOLMES over Balmain Bros. store on Main Street. It was his custom to get up about 8 o'clock Sunday mornings. The people at the boarding house supposed, when he did not appear, that he had overslept. However as he did not come out of his room, about 11 o'clock Frank JONES knocked at his door and getting no answer looked through the keyhole and saw Mr. Seymour apparently lying in his back asleep. He called and knocked again, but received no answer. The inmates of the house were now thoroughly aroused. Mr. Holmes feared the worst. He got an iron bar and pried open the door. Mr. Seymour was lying on the bed dead. There was no sign of a struggle. The deceased had evidently been reading after he retired as a magazine was on the chair beside the bed and the lamp had been put out. He was lying on his back, the clothes well drawn over him and his arms folded. It seemed that he passed away in his sleep without a struggle. Dr. Sprague was called in and later on Dr. Hand and Coroner Wallace Hay. It was decided that an inquest was unnecessary. The deceased came to his end through heart failure from which he had suffered for several years past. When the body was found he must have been dead for four or five hours. The remains were prepared for buria and late in the afternoon removed to the residence of Daniel McCarten. Geo. Seymour had been for the greater portion of twenty years in Woodstock. Two brothers have come to take charge of the remains, one from Boston and the other from St. John. A service was held at the house last eve. by Rev. Canon Neales. The remains were taken to St. John by the late train Tuesday where they will be buried.
