Cornwallis has lost one of its most venerable citizens and the North Cornwallis its most venerable elder. John BURGESS reached a ripe old age and quietly awaited the Master's call to his eternal rest. On the Sabbath preceding his death, while his son, Rev. J.C. BURGESS of Carleton (St. John) was driving him to church, one of the wheels came off the wagon and the venerable father with his wife fell to the ground with a considerable shock. - Halifax 'Witness'
