BYADUK from our own correspondent July 21st. (Hamilton Spectator, Tuesday 24th July 1888)

Profound sorrow was felt here on Friday morning when the news of young Edwin Hurrell's death came to hand. Recent inquiries had elicited the assurance that he was progressing towards recovery, after having come through a dangerous illness, following which the news of his decease came as a shock. This but a few days since he followed to the grave, a fond sister, who, like the young man himself, was a general favourite in this their native village. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved parents upon whom misfortune's hand has of late been heavily laid.

In MEMORIAM (Hamilton Spectator, 19th July 1890);

Hurrell - In loving remembrance of our dearly beloved son Edwin John, who died at Hamilton, 19th July, 1888.

Two years today have passed away,
Since our dear Edwin was called away;
It was hard to part from one so dear,
We little thought his time was near.
Although he's gone, we know it's best,
Our darling Edwin's gone to rest.

Inserted by his loving father, mother, brothers and sisters.
