The pleasures of the day were marred by a sad incident shortly after the close of the procession. Before the speech making the Park had drawn to a close, one of the members of 62 lodge, James HUNTER, feeling unwell started to go to his home, Hudson street accompanied by a stranger. When they reached the railway siding at Lea's mill, Mr. Hunter was noticed to throw up his hand and fall across the rail. He expired almost immediately and life was extinct when Drs. Steeves and McCully reached him. The deceased was one of the oldest employees of the Intercolonial Railway shops. He had been subject to spells of dizziness and about three years ago had a stroke of paralysis. Death was due to apoplexy brought on no doubt by the long walk in the heat. Coroner Dr. Ross was asked to hold an inquest but did not think it necessary. Mr. Hunter was born at Cairn Castle, Ireland, 18th June 1829 and came to this country in 1857. He was a machinist by trade. He leaves a widow and one son, James Hunter, well known base ballist and one daughter. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon from the family residence on Huston street. - The Times (Moncton, Nova Scotia) July 13 1892
