A very sad death occurred on Monday afternoon about 4:30, when Harry M. Guest succumbed after a fainting spell on his farm on the eleventh concession of Flos.
He and Allen hart were cleaning up the remains of the alsike field threshing, when the belt of the machine broke and scared both teams, standing abreast near by causing them to run away in opposite directions. mr. hart and his helper ran after the former's team, while Mr. Guest and his helper pursued mr. Guest's team. The latter team ran in the direction of the buildings. They passed by without lessening the speed, and down the road in the direction of his buildings on the Townline, where the family reside, a distance of two miles.
Mr. Guest, being unable to stop the team, went to the barn to get his automobile to follow them. he was just at the entrance of the barn when he fell back and expired almost instantly. medical aid was summoned and artificial respiration administered, but without success . Dr. Tyre of Elmvale pronounced death due to excitement.
mr. hart had been conversing with him at various times during the afternoon, and he was apparently enjoying good health.
Mr. Guest was a man of high character, a public spirited citizen and greatly esteemed. he was born in Innisfil Tp. january 5,1883, but came to Tiny when but a boy. In the affairs of his community he took an active interest. At the time of his death he was in his third term as trustee of Saurin School and for several years had been warden of St. Thomas Church, Allenwood.
he was a member of Coronation Lodge, A.F. & A.M., and held the office of Inner guard; also a past District master of the Orange Order, being a member of Wyevale Lodge, No. 1886.
His wife (formerly Miss Annie may Tubman) to whom he was married in 1910, survives him with two sons and one daughter, the latter only six months old.
The funeral,under Masonic auspices, was held on August 28. from his late residence, lot 17, Con. 1 Tiny, to Wycliffe Church, where service was held. Interment was made in Elmvale cemetery. Deepest sympathy goes out to the bereaved in their very sudden loss.
