Sudden Death at Millicent.
Millicent, April 6.
The sudden death on Sunday even ing of Mr. Roy Elton came as a great shock to Millicent residents. Mr. Elton, who resided at Mount Burr, was in apparently good health when he retired on Friday evening. At 10 o'clock he went to bed, but about an hour and a half later was seized with violent internal pains. At an early hour on Saturday morning Dr. R. A. Salts was summoned from Millicent, and he ordered Mr. Elton's removal to the Thyne Memorial Hospital. At night an operation was performed, and it was discovered Mr. Elton was suffering from an ulcer in the stomach. He came through the ordeal of the operation successfully, and on Sunday was permitted to see visitors. He cheerfully conversed with relatives and friends during the afternoon, but later a change in his condition set in, and he passed away peacefully at 6 o'clock. The late Lionel Roy Elton was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Elton, of Millicent, and was 36 years of age. He had lived his whole life at Millcent. He joined the firm of J. Mc- Laughlin and Co., general store-keepers, when he left school, and continued in their employ until he went into business in the same trade in partnership with Mr. Harry Kennedy. Later he purchased the business, and carried it on on his own account until about 1930. When McLaughlin & Co. decided to open a branch of their business at Mount Burr, Mr. Elton was chosen as manager and he successfully conducted the business until the time of his death. In 1923 he married Gladys Annie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Hutchesson, of Millicent, and there were three sons and one daughter of the union, ranging in ages from two to twelve. The funeral was conducted at the Millicent Cemetery on Tuesday.
