The Casket, Aug. 3, 1911 The death of Hugh D McInnes, at Lee, Mass., on the 25th July last was caused by a shock from a live wire whilst at work at the top of one of the high tension poles of the Berkshire Street Railway. Though an experienced and most careful workman, the only explanation remains that, no one is safe at such work. The deceased was in his twenty-sixth year, and the youngest son of the late John McInnes (Tailor) of McPherson, South River. "Hugh Dan" as he was fondly called at home was a young man of endearing habits, kindliness of heart, purity of character, and manliness of deportment, growing with his years. His tragic and early death is a sore trial to his two surviving brothers and five sisters, and more particularly to his disconsolate mother whose care and comfort seemed to be his chief aim. His remains arrived in Antigonish on Friday, 28th, accompanied by his brother John and sister Sarah, and the next train brought another sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Dan McDougall of Cambridge, in time for the obsequies. About forty carriages were at the depot to show their sympathy, by accompanying the silent casket to his late home, which he had left full of life and hope, only a few months before. After a Requiem High Mass in St. Andrew's Church on Saturday morning, offered by the pastor, Rev. A J Chisholm, the Rev. Dr. H McPherson delivered a short and touching discourse, impressing a salutary lesson, in which he asked his hearers to confide in the belief that, such sudden visitations may come from God's love and mercy, rather than from his anger. Over sixty carriages were in the funeral cortege to the South River Cemetery. The services at the grave were conducted by the pastor, assisted by Rev. Dr. McPherson. May his soul rest in peace.
