On Wednesday last about noon, J. Kent MacPHERSON, formerly of this city, died at the residence of his aunt, Mrs. Alex. MacPHERSON at Moncton. The deceased had been in poor health for several years, but when he left the city for Moncton several months ago, he did not appear any worse than at times during the past few years. On his arrival at his aunt's at Moncton, he appears to have given up all hopes of recovery and was confined to his room the whole time. He was in his 36th year and unmarried. He was a son of Alex. MacPHERSON, watchmaker of this city, to whose business the late John BABBITT succeeded and after him, J.D. FOWLER. The late S.D. MacPHERSON was his grandfather and was a nephew of James D. MacPHERSON of this city. His mother was a sister of William FOWLER, Esq. and the late Mrs. Emma PITTS of this city, Mrs. G.F. BROWN and Mrs. Samuel KIMBALL of Oromocto (Sunbury Co.). Mr. MacPherson leaves one sister, Mrs. Arthur G. HATCH, Oromocto. Mr. MacPherson will be remembered as having been for years bookkeeper with the late firm of Geo. Hatt & Sons and later with James S. NEILL. Since that time he was a Putnam Car conductor, running for a number of years between St. Louis and Cincinatti and railways in the southern part of the States. While in this city in the fall he spent several weeks with his old friend and school mate, Bedford PHILLIPS of the Postal Dept., after which he went to Moncton. His spends speak of the kindness and attention of Geo. W. BABBITT of the Bank of Nova Scotia there, who was in constant attendance to his sick townsman. The remains arrived in this city on Thursday eve. train and were met by a delegation from Victoria Lodge of Oddfellows and Knights of Pythias, of which societies deceased was a member, and were conveyed to the residence of his uncle, J.D.
