We have to announce with deep regret the death of Dr. Arthur Machell, of Owen Sound, which occurred at the house of his brother, Dr. Henry Machell, Toronto, March 4th, 1899. He had an attack of la grippe some weeks ago, the chief symptom for some time being inflammation of the lungs.
His brother went to Owen Sound to see him, and decided to bring him to Toronto. Although he suffered much pain it was hoped that recovery would soon ensue. Suddenly, however, about March 1st, serious cerebral symptoms appeared, and grew rapidly worse until the morning of the 4th, when his medical attendant realized that death was inevitable. He was forty-three years of age. Arthur Machell and Charley Macdonald, as their friends were wont to call them, spent three years of their student life together in the old Toronto School of Medicine, and both were general favorites. McDonald graduated one year before Machell, and both died the same week. Dr. Machell settled in Owen Sound shortly after graduating, and remained there until he came to Toronto three weeks before his death. His widow and one daughter survive.
