GORDON CHRYSLER DEAD

 

The death of Gordon CHRYSLER, for many years chief officer of the steamer Norseman, running between Charlotte, Port Hope and Cobourg, was announced yesterday. On Thursday evening while the Norseman was lying in port Mr. CHRYSLER was attacked with acute rheumatism, and Dr. F. A. JONES of Charlotte was summoned to attend him. The physician was very anxious as to his condition and when the boat left he accompanied him back to Port Hope, giving him every attention but the remedies were of no avail, and shortly after reaching his home he expired. Those who have ever journeyed on the Norseman will remember his courtesy and attention and will regret his sudden death. He was always kind and attentive to all and made during his care__ the Lake many warm personal friends ___ sides of the water. This was to have been his last season on the Lake, as he had purchased a farm in Canada and it was his intention to settle on it. The deceased leaves a wife and _ son, residing at Port Hope, who have the sympathy of those who knew him in the hour of their affliction.
