We regret to record the death of an old citizen of Campbellton (Rest. Co.), William MOTT, Esq., which sad event occurred at Montreal on the 10th. Mr. Mott had been suffering from cancer and had gone to Montreal, accompanied by his wife and son, for the purpose of undergoing an operation, but the doctors concluded after making an exploratory incision that it was not advisable to attempt the removal of the cancer. No immediate danger was anticipated but internal heamorrhaging afterwards set in and death very quickly followed. Deceased was the eldest son of the late David MOTT, one of the pioneers of northern New Brunswick and was born in the parish of Nelson, Miramichi (North. Co.) on Sept. 3rd, 1827. He came to Restigouche with his father when ten years old and is said to have walked the greater portion of the distance. Shortly after this his father moved his family to Restigouche and settled on Long Island near Flatlands, making arrangements with the Indians who then claimed the Island for a transfer of their rights. Deceased was identified with the early lumber trade of Restigouche, first under the old firm of Arthur Ritchie & Co. and afterwards with the late Hon. John McMILLAN, but was best known throughout the county as a magistrate, being for a long time a member of the sessions under the old system and an acting justice and parish Court Commissioner up to the time of his death. He was married on Dec. 6th, 1860 by Rev. James Steven to Penelope STEWART d/o late Donald STEWART, Esq. of Dalhousie and leaves surviving his wife and three children: D. Gordon MOTT, Aspinwall, Mechanical Supt. Panama R.R.; W. Albert MOTT, M.P.P. and Mrs. S.H. LINGLEY, Campbellton.
