There died at Victoriaville, Cocagne (Kent Co.) lately, after an illness of 25 months, Andrew JOHNSTON, age 85 years 3 mos. 19 days, leaving three sons, five daughters, 47 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. He was born in Ayrshire, Scotland and came to this country in the spring of 1825 and landed at St. John. He was on the Oromocto in that autumn and helped to fight the Miramichi fire. He went to Cocagne in the autumn of 1826 where he married Ann SPENCE in December 1827. His wife was from County Armagh, Ireland and came to this country in the summer of 1826. She died in December 1873. Mr. Johnston settled on a farm in Cocagne in the year 1829 and was the second settler. There were then no raods nearer than five miles, and everything had to be brought up the river in canoes to the head of the tide which is two miles below where he settled. There have been great changes since then. Now the Buctouche and Moncton railroad passes at the Head of the Tide, two miles from his farm. Deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church. Rev. Jack of Buctouche conducted the funeral service.
