Hardwick (North. Co.) May 7 - Raphael MARTIN, about 70 years of age and a resident of Lower Bay du Vin, died suddenly today. He complained of not feeling well in the morn., but was getting about all day. He died almost instantly at about 1 o'clock today. He had worked in the same concern for the Willistons as a salmon fisherman for 52 years and fished the same set of nets, the one at the lower end of Fox Island and which is now known as Raphael's set. He saw his first employers pass away and their sons take their place and has served them faithfully as did their father.
