DEATH OF MISS ALICE O'DAY

Brooklin--The most sudden death that has occurred here for some time is that of Miss Alice O'Day. On Sunday morning she arose and assisted with the household duties and about nine o'clock was taken down with inflammation. Medical aid was immedately procured but to no purpose; about eighteen hours afterwards she was a corpse. The funeral took place on Tuesday from the residence of her brother-in-law Jas. Hoar, where she died, to the R.C. Cemetery, Oshawa. The deceased was an estimable young woman, apparently in good health. Her melancholy death has caused much sympathy for the afflicted family. The funeral was largely attended.


Died at the residence of her brother-in-law, Mr. James Hoar, lot 20, 6th con. Whitby, on Monday 18th inst., Alice, second daughter of John O'Day, Brooklin, aged 22 years, 1 month and 8 days. The deceased was taken ill on Sunday morning with inflamation and died within 24 hours. Miss O'Day was held in esteem by all who knew her and her sudden death has cast a gloom over the community.
