Death of one of Halton's Early Settlers.
The death of Mr. David Cargill at the home of his son, Henry Cargill, M.P., in Bruce
County, on Sunday, adds another to the long list of deaths of early settlers in this
county which have occurred within the past few months. Mr. Cargill was a native of the
county Antrim, Ireland. He settled in the township of Nassagaweya in the year 1829. He was
a respected private citizen of the county during his long residence here. He removed to
the house of his son at Cargill some time since. At his death he was 88 years of age.

Nassagaweya.
DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN. - Died at Nassagaweya, County Halton, on the 10th instant, Mr.
James Cargill, a native of Ballyhemlin, near Bushmills, Parish of Balleaugh, in the County
of Antrim, at the advanced age of 104 years and some months. This old gentleman was born
in the year 1760 - that in which George the III ascended the throne of Britain. He thus
was a contemporary of all the stirring events of that long reign; was personally cognizant
of the rise and fall of Napoleon; bore a part in the suppression of the rebellion of 1798
in his native land and might have held conversation with men, who existed during the
troublous times of the Pretender and his son Charles Edward. Relfection on what he may
have had a personal knowledge of, almost shortens in imagination the time which has
expired since his birth. Very probably his father was acquainted with men who defended the
walls of Derry, and fought for the Protestant succession on the banks of the ever
memorable Boyne wate!
r, - events which we moderns, are habituated to look upon as belonging to a long by-gone
age. - It is almost useless to add that he lived to see the descendants of the third
generation rise around him, in his cis-atlantic home; and his remains were accompanied to
their last resting place, in the Episcopal burying-ground of Nassagaweya, by a numerous
cortege of relatives, friends, and acquaintances. - SPECTATOR

NASSAGAWEYA
News reached here on Monday of the death of Mrs. Margaret Cargill, relict of Henry
Cargill, former M.P. for East Bruce. She died on Sunday after two weeks' illness. She
leaves one son, W. D. Cargill, who is the Conservative candidate in the South Bruce
by-election for the House of Commons, and two daughters, Mrs. W. H. Bennett, of Midland,
and Mrs. Wilson M. Southam, of Ottawa. The deceased, whose maiden name was Margaret
Davidson, was married in Nassagaweya in 1854 to the late Mr. Cargill, who had just
graduated from Queen's College, Kingston, and had entered the lumber business in his
native county, Halton. In 1879 Mr. Cargill sold his business to the late Peter Sayers and
the family removed to Bruce County, where Mr. Cargill purchased a large portion of
Greenock Swamp and conducted an extensive lumber business.
