A Sad Drowning
Judge A. M. Morden, Pincher's First Settler, the Victim.
Judge A. M. Morden, the first settler at Pincher Creek, and widely and most favorable known in Southern Alberta, was drowned in Pincher Creek on Friday night, the 21st inst.
He was crossing the creek on the bridge near his home when the structure broke down and precipitated him into the swift running stream, which was at a very high stage.
His body was not recovered until the next day, about a mile below where the bridge had been located.
Albert Milton Morden was a native of Hamilton, Ont., and was 63 years of age.
A brother of Judge Morden was at one time mayor of Hamilton, and the family is of high standing.
Judge Morden settled in Pincher Creek in 1881, and has resided there with his family ever since.
The funeral, which took place on Monday last, was the largest which ever took place in Pincher Creek, and was a marked tribute of respect to the first settler of the district.
Rev. H. R. Grant, of Knox Church, Fernie, was called by wire from Coleman to conduct the funeral services. The services were held in the Methodist church, of which the deceased was the first promoter.
He was buried according to the rites of the Masonic order, of which he was a prominent member.
A singular coincidence of this sudden death is the fact that exactly seven years before to the day, Fred Morden, son of Judge Morden, was shot in South Africa, while guarding communications in company with three other men from Pincher Creek, one of whom, Robert Kerr, was also killed, and one, Thomas Mills, was wounded.
This deed of daring performed by those Pincher Creek boys was of such importance to the army in the field as to call forth words of praise from Lord Roberts.
The Pincher Creek hospital was erected as a memorial to these two brave boys, and is called the Pincher Creek Memorial hospital.
Judge Morden was police magistrate of Pincher Creek, and was highly esteemed by the whole community.
He leaves a widow and one son, who lives in the Okanagan Valley, and one daughter, Mrs. (Dr.) Hewetson, of Pincher Creek, to mourn his loss.
