We have received notice of the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. John COLPITTS of Mapleton, Elgin (Albert Co.) Mr. Colpitts was born in Coverdale in 1806. More than 50 years ago, he and his first wife joined the Baptist Church under the preaching of Rev. Joseph Crandall. He removed to Elgin 23 years ago. A singular co-incidence was that on the same day of the month, just 29 years before his death, his first wife had died. He was not long separated from his second wife as within 24 hours of her death he was a corpse. He had fifteen children, nine of whom are still living. He was a brother of the late Mrs. Isaac TURNER of Harvey.
