Wm SEGEE died yesterday morn. at the Marysville Hotel which is managed by his son-in-law, Austin HARRIS. Deceased was in the 88th year of his age. He was born near Fredericton, the old homestead being near where Roadmaster MacKay now lives. He will be better remembered here in the capacity of an hotel keeper. For many years he ran a hotel at the corner of Brunswick and Regent streets. He was for a time proprietor of the old York House which stood where W. Lemont's residence now is and for a long time ran the old Brayley House on Queen Street. He managed the present Springhill Hotel for a period of 18 years, only retiring therefrom a few years ago. Since then he has been living a quiet life. For the past year or two he has been living with his son-in-law at Marysville. Although feeble with advancing years he has enjoyed comparatively good health. On Saturday eve. he went to bed feeling as well as usual. He awoke short after 5 o'clock Sunday feeling distressed with an attack of dyspepsia. He got up and woke his wife, who slept in the next room, and she prepared a warm drink for him. This did not seem to ease him, so she went down stairs to prepare a mustard plaster. Returning after an absence of about ten minutes Mr. Segee seemed to her to be sleeping quietly, but upon going to his bedside she found that he was the sleep of death. Mr. Segee was twice married, his first wife being a sister of George CREIGHTON of this city. By this marriage there is one surviving offspring, Mrs. Wm BYRAM, Grand River. By his second wife, who survives him, he leaves three daughters. They are Mrs. A.D. McPHERSON, this city, Mrs. Austin HARRIS, Marysville and Miss Lucy SEGEE, Hancock, N.H. It may be mentioned that the deceased was some years steward on the steamer plying between here and St. John. He was on board the old "Ann Augusta" when she blew up and used to relate the story with great vividness. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon. The procession will leaves Marysville at 2 o'clock and Temple's landing, this city, at 2:45 o'clock. Interment will take place in the family lot at Springhill. Undertaker John G. Adams will have charge of the arrangements.
