    3. Here is the fourth set of newspaper clippings pasted in the minute book of the Thistle Mission Band. (Handwritten at the top of the clipping - June 12, 1928) NEW MARYLAND MAN DROPS DEAD AT WORK James W. Lipsett Was Working on Road When Death Claimed Him. Death came with startling suddenness late yesterday afternoon to James W. Lipsett, of New Maryland, as he was working on the New Maryland road near his home, at the age of 68 years. The late Mr. Lipsett was in his usual health all day and was working with other men when he was noticed to fall to the ground. It was thought he had been seized with illness, but when picked up it was found he had died, apparently from heart disease. He was known and respected by a large circle of friends, and his sudden death will be regretted. He is survived by his widow, two sons, John and Harry of New Maryland; four daughters, Mrs. Ernest Clowater, of Nashwaak; Mrs. Elwood Boone, of Florenceville; Miss Martha Lipsett, of Boston, and Miss Mary Lipsett, at home; two brothers and one sister, Gilbert, of Roxbury; David, in Minnesotta, and Miss Belle Lipsett, of this city. The funeral will take place from his late home to-morrow afternoon with service at the United Church of Canada at 2.30 o'clock by Rev. Mr. Turner and interment at New Maryland.
