John: Obituary: "Death of a Hay Pioneer - There passed away on the 2nd con. of Hay yesterday

(Wed.) morning, John McMahon, one of the early settlers, a successful farmer and a man noted for his strict integrity. Mr. McMahon had been ailing about a year of Bright's disease, and while in a very enfeebled condition the greater part of the time, he did not take his bed until Sunday when he took a turn for the worse and gradually sinking passed to his reward as above stated. Deceased was a native of Perthshire, Scotland and came to Canada in the fifties. In 1861 he married Miss Bessie Fyfe, when they settled on Lot 4 Con 3, Hay to make for themselves a home. He was a man of unusual strength and energy, contributing more than the average share towards transforming the


unbroken forest into well-tilled fields. A man of retiring disposition, never aspiring to public positions, but as a farmer, Mr. McMahon had few equals, acquiring a valuable estate by his skill as an agriculturist.

Besides a sorrowing wife, he is survived by two sons and three daughters: John on the homestead,

James in Buffalo, NY; Mrs. Munn, Hay and Mrs. Aldworth, Minneapolis. Mr. McMahon was a Reformer in politics and a Christian in the true sense of the word; a loving husband, an indulgent father and as a friend and neighbour respected by all. The funeral takes place tomorrow (Friday) to the Exeter cemetery."
